Elemental Danger (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781491734483)

Praise for Elemental Danger "An intriguing blend of suspense and reality." -Frank Ruff, Virginia senator, 15th district "A tightly told tale that gives you a taste of a unique region with plenty of flavor and characters." - Dallas Weston, Editor, The News Progress It's a puzzling case when skeletal remains are discovered on Buggs Island Lake in Southside Virginia. The sand, sun, and weather have cleaned and bleached the skeleton to the quality of an anatomic teaching model. The bones, when later analyzed, emit concentrations of radiation. Dr. Obie Hardy, an on-call medical examiner from nearby Boydton, is summoned to the scene. But this is only the first in a series of unexplained bodies to emerge in this rural lakeside community under mysterious and suspicious circumstances. Hardy and seasoned Mecklenburg County Detective Bruce Duffer teams with Mark McClain, a curious local reporter with The News Progress, in order to get to the bottom of the deaths. Despite the distraction of a corrupt contractor, they discover a link to local mining operations and find themselves among dangerous elements. They must use their intuitions and perseverance to stop the ballooning threat of a major environmental disaster.
