In New York Times bestselling author Andrew Gross's
propulsive thriller, set amid the drought-stricken oil
country of Colorado's beautiful high plains, Ty Hauck makes
his long-awaited return rallying beaten-down farmers and
ranchers against a giant energy company in a deadly
confrontation involving murder, retaliation, and cover-up.
Leading a tour down the rapids outside Aspen, Colorado,
whitewater guide Dani Whalen comes upon the dead body of a
close friend. Trey Watkins's death is ruled an accident.
Finding evidence that seems to back up her suspicions that
it wasn't, she takes her case to Wade Dunn, the local police
chief and her ex-stepfather, with whom she shares some
unresolved history. Wade insists the case is closed, but
Rooster, a hot air balloon operator in town, claims he saw
something from the air she should know. When he suddenly
dies in a fiery crash, Dani threatens to take her suspicions
public, goading Wade into tossing her in jail.
When an old friend contacts Ty Hauck and says his daughter
is in trouble, he doesn't hesitate to get involved.
Together, the two step into a sinister scheme running deep
beneath the surface of a quiet, Colorado town that has made
a deal with the devil to survive. But in the square off
between giant energy companies and beaten-down ranchers and
farmers, one resource is even more valuable in this
drought-stricken region than oil. They both will kill for
it—water.
One Mile Under is a thrilling rapid run of
hair-raising twists and unforeseen turns set against one of
the most provocative environmental issues of our time.
