On April 19, 1995, a truck bomb exploded just outside of Oklahoma Citys Murrah Federal Building, killing 168 people. Within a matter of hours, the FBI launched the largest manhunt in U.S. history, identifying the suspects as Timothy James McVeigh and John Doe No. 2, a stocky twentysomething with a distinctive tattoo on his left arm. Eventually the FBI retracted the elusive mystery man as a bombing suspect altogether, proclaiming that McVeigh had acted alone and that John Doe No. 2 was the byproduct of unreliable eyewitness testimony in the wake of the attack. Womack recreates the events that led up to this fateful day from the perspective of John Doe No. 2or JD, as he is referred to in the book. With his ironic and curiously detached persona, JD narratesfrom a secondperson point of viewhis secret life with McVeigh, Terry Nichols, and others in Americas militia culture as McVeigh and JD crisscross the Midwest in McVeighs beloved Chevy Geo Spectrum. John Doe No. 2 and the Dreamland Motel is the tragicomic account of McVeighs last desperate months of freedom as he prepared to unleash one of the deadliest acts of domestic terrorism in the nations history. Womacks novel traces one mans downward spiral toward the act of evil that will brand his name in infamy and anothers desperate hope to save his friends soul before its too late.
