Summary
Mere weeks after graduating from UC Berkeley at the top of her Class of 1951, Charlotte "Charlie" Magne is recruited for a job she didn't even know existed: Head of Radiochemistry and Physics with the Y-7 test reactor at the Lazarus Bluffs National Laboratory. Y-7, not-so-affectionately known as "Lucifer" for its troublesome habits, has been running for almost ten years, and the government has tasked Charlie — along with the rest of the team stationed there — with finding out how a nuclear reactor breaks down.
But the desolate New Mexico facility hides a much darker secret than decaying nuclear tech and an unspoken agreement that it's Lazarus Bluffs or a coffin six feet down. It turns out that the reactor isn't what's really being studied.
It's the people.
(AKA: What if Charlie was a nuclear physicist on a top-secret 1950s research reactor and Lucifer was the angel underneath the control rods?)
