Truthers by Geoffrey Girard

Truthers
When Katie's drug addict father is put into a mental institute after ranting about 9/11 conspiracies, threatening Vice President Dick Cheney and beating up a co-worker, Katie begins to research the 9/11 conspiracies in order to help get her father out of the mental institute.  She is aided by a 17 year old boy genius who she meets at the law library where she is doing research.  The more she learns about the Truthers, the conspiracy theorists, the more plausible some of their theories sound.  Katie, however, is in danger and is not sure who are the good guys and who are the bad guys.  I found it interesting that the book ties the belief in conspiracy theories in with PTSD.  The story is captivating and intriguing.
