Toxic Waters David G Ferguson

In the tradition of Clive Cussler, comes a novel of suspense and adventure set on the big water of the Great Lakes. Erin Franklin will do what it takes to take down Mid-Con, a waste management company that has been playing fast and loose with the law. An environmental crusader, known in the industry as the Iron Maiden, Erin doesn't know what she is getting herself into this time when she is discovered hiding on Mid-Con's property. Judge Franklin has his own bone to pick with Mid-Con. They are up on new charges and back in his courtroom again. Willard Reiger, owner of Mid-Con, has had enough of little miss eco-crusader sniffing around his business, not to mention the latest trumped up charges of illegal dumping. Having built his company from nothing, he is not about to let anyone take it away from him. He will do what it takes to keep it. Conservation Officer Rick Webb still doesn't understand why Judge Franklin dismissed the case against Mid-Con. The evidence was ironclad; it was a slam-dunk. Frustrated by the setback, Webb is looking forward to a vacation on Water Baby, a classic sailing yawl and his pride and joy. His first mate is Heywood the cat; otherwise he is on his own. But his vacation is cut short unexpectedly when he is unwittingly drawn into a fight for his life - and for the purity of the pristine water of Lake Huron. When he realizes that the fates of two innocent people are at stake, he uses all his knowhow and his guts to set things right. Non-stop action, tight pacing and believable characters make this an excellent read for anyone wanting to escape into a nautical adventure sprinkled with romance. Because of its setting and authentic descriptions, this story really delivers for sailing and boating enthusiasts and lovers of nature.
