Bookroo's summary

Agents Frank and Joe Hardy face a high-stakes mission to infiltrate a utopian community nestled between the San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mountains. With thousands of lives potentially at risk, they must unravel the community's dark secrets and thwart any criminal activities linked to the oil industry. As they delve deeper, the enigmatic leader, Arthur Stench, and his followers become prime suspects.
