About this item
A toxic pesticide buried for decades. A community fighting science. Neighbor versus neighbor.
Environmental consultant Luke Graham has cleaned up hazardous sites before, but nothing like this.
Brought in to oversee the cleanup of a former DDT manufacturing plant in Torrance, California, Luke quickly uncovers a growing crisis: new science, contaminated soil, and a neighborhood facing forced evacuation under federal orders.
Residents are furious. The corporation is under pressure. Environmental advocates are seizing the opportunity. The truth about human health is illusive.
Then everything changes.
A disturbing realization of decades of offshore chemical dumping triggers a chain of events that turns a routine legal action into a deadly fight. Suddenly, Luke is no longer just managing a project. He’s a target.
With threats closing in on the ground and in the air, Luke turns to his trusted ally Van Russo, a former military intelligence specialist, and an aging engineer who knows the former plant’s buried secrets. Together, they must neutralize the threats against Luke and his family and friends and complete the mission.
Because in this investigation, the harder he tries to complete his altruistic tasks… the more dangerous it becomes.
Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, C.J. Box, and John Grisham, Contaminant of Concern delivers a gripping environmental mystery thriller rooted in real world science, corporate interests, environmental advocacy, and public opinions.
If you enjoy fast paced mystery thrillers with authentic detail, escalating tension, and a conspiracy that hits close to home, this is a story you won’t want to put down.
