Quote:
This set contains three complete novels in the award-winning Forensic Geology Series, featuring the sleuth team Cassie Oldfield and her father-figure mentor Walter Shaws.
QUICKSILVER (a novella)
The geologists plunge into the dark history of the California gold country, into the dark past of two brothers, into a poisonous feud that threatens lives and the land.
BADWATER
Death Valley earns its name when a terrorist threatens to unleash lethal radioactive toxins. The only ones who can find and stop him are the forensic geologists, and they are up against more than pure human malice. The unstable atom--in the hands of an unstable man--is governed by Murphy's Law. Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.
VOLCANO WATCH
The volcano beneath the geologists' home town is seething, and the mayor is found murdered with a note saying NO WAY OUT. The fate of the town now rests in the hands of an emergency planner with his own twisted agenda. As the volcano moves toward red alert, the geologists race to prevent 'no way out' from becoming a prophecy.

Quicksilver is the shortest of the three stories, at ~40,000 words, and is normally free. The other two stories are 90,000 to 100,000 words, and are available separately for $2.99 each.
The box set is currently $0.99 -- which isn't bad!
*** Important disclaimer: My degree is in Geology, and, while studying back in the early 70s, my department head was Dr. Raymond Murray, who wrote one of the first forensic geology textbooks -- if not
the first. ***
Don't let the "Geology" throw you off. The geological terms are presented in context and well-described. It's just like reading a story that centers around a novel poison -- if it's written well, you'll figure it out and enjoy the story.
Same here.
