#SuspenseMonday taut and fast-paced thriller
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.
