Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Butch Anderson, a born-in-the-saddle cowboy world famous for his days on the rodeo circuit, owns a pristine ranch with his wife on the outskirts of the magnificent Big Horn Mountains in northern Wyoming. MethZap, a coal bed methane gas company, promised the Andersons that the gas retrieved from their ranch would entitle them to receive large royalty checks and that the ranch would be returned to its immaculate condition once the mining was complete. Unfortunately, MethZap didn’t keep its word to the Andersons, and when sludge oozes from the “Well from Hell,” contaminating their groundwater, destroying their rangeland, and poisoning the Powder River Basin, they hire Mary MacIntosh to represent them in a class-action toxic tort crusade that threatens to divide their community. How much do we owe the people we love? Are we all stewards of the environment? Is a multi-million dollar jury verdict enough to replace what has been lost in the battle? In trying to win justice for her clients, Mac learns the answers to some of these questions and the value of respect for the environment, loved ones, and, most importantly, for herself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shocking & Compelling - A Page Turner You Can't Put Down!, March 27, 2007
By M. L. Erpenbeck (Phoenix, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This novel sucks you in from page one and does not let you go!

I began reading this after Pandemic Predator & expected good things, but did NOT expect to be so enraptured & engrossed by it. From chapter one, you are introduced to a variety of hot button issues, and you know that they are going to explode later in the book - but Maureen keeps you on the hook until the last crucial minute before divulging any crucial detail. When you finally understand the complex nature of these issues, you realize that Maureen has weaved multiple topics together and completely pulls the rug out from beneath you in an amazing crescendo.

Books with catches and hooks like these that keep you on your toes and breathless while reading - waiting for more - but not sure of what is coming next - and dying to survive each crisis with the main character - are very hard to come by. I was so sad when this novel was over, because I WANTED MORE!

The most surprising element in this book for me is the fact that this book is not a boring rescitation of environmental issues. This is a suspense novel like you wouldn't believe, that just so happens to occur in an environmental setting. You have your legal drama, your side-issues of love interests, betrayal, cheating, lying, dishonesty, money, family, death threats - all woven together in a book that happens to involved environmental litigation. Maureen does not overwhelm with legal definitions or political expression about environmental issues, and manages to explain certain topics in a way that focuses on the suspenseful setting of the characters. I was amazed that I would be so enraptured by a book that involves seemingly dry material - not one page - not one sentence! - of this book was dry or slow.

My only regret is that I finished reading this book in a matter of hours and now I have no more to read! I'm dying to get the next books she publishes because I want more about Mary MacIntosh!
