Book excerpt: The headline is explosive. The clock is ticking. Can he uncover the lies before a community self-destructs? Freelance journalist Frank Dodge vowed to stay by his estranged lover’s side until the bitter end. But when he’s offered a plum assignment covering the economic impact of frac sand mining, he’s torn between his career and reconciling with his dying ex. Believing he can do both, he’s midway through the gig when a bomb goes off, taking innocent lives.

But the investigation takes him far from his former partner’s deathbed when he realizes his major national scoop could take down powerful forces causing widespread environmental destruction.
