In 1995, Carol was spying on Oklahoma’s neo-Nazis for the government just when Timothy Mcleigh blew up a federal building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people. Ever since then, Carol has haunted the imaginations of survivors and investigators because of a rumour that had begun to swirl: If her information had only been listened to. In The Debutante, he seeks the truth about the woman who grew up in a world of privilege and opportunity and whose teenage rebellion lead her to extreme radicalization. Listen now >>
