Pines by Blake Crouch

Pines (2012) is the first book in the Wayward Pines Trilogy.

I’ve got mixed feelings.

It follows U.S. Secret Service agent Ethan Burke as he unravels the mystery surrounding his unanticipated arrival in the small town of Wayward Pines, Idaho, following a devastating car accident.  …

The residents of this picturesque town don’t know how they got there and are forbidden to talk about their prior lives. An electric fence surrounds the town, and the residents are under 24-hour surveillance. The mysteries and horrors of the town build until Ethan discovers its secret. Then he must do his part to keep Wayward Pines protected from threats both within and beyond the fence.

The series covers themes of isolation, bucolic Americana, time-displacement, man vs nature, human evolution, and cryonics. …

The novels are the basis for the television series Wayward Pines, produced by M. Night Shyamalan

I haven’t seen the 2015 TV series.
