Poison Town by Creston Mapes is 2nd in his Crittendon Files series of investigative mystery/thrillers starring the eponymous reporter Jack Crittendon, this installment involving industrial corruption leading to murderous pollution (okay, probably more like negligent manslaughter-ous pollution), free courtesy of Christian publisher David C. Cook.
Currently free, probably just for the next couple of days @
B&N (may also drop in the
UK after a day or so),
Amazon UK (slated to drop in the
main store after midnight Pacific Time),
iTunes &
Google Play (both available to Canadians), and also
ChristianBook (DRM-Free ePub available to selected countries) &
BookShout (available for online reading & app download), and possibly several other stores linked in the
publisher's catalogue page.
And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.
Mostly by default, but it does look a bit more interesting than the other probably-expiring-soon stuff that popped up today, and it's nice to have people actually try and tackle the issue of needless industrial pollution, and have a change of pace from the standard terrorism and serial killer thrillers we so often get.
Enjoy!
Description
People are sick and dying. Rumors are swirling. Some claim chemicals leaking from a manufacturing plant are causing the cancer that’s crippling people on the poor side of Trenton City, Ohio. Yet nothing at the plant appears amiss. The problem remains a mystery until reporter Jack Crittendon’s long-time mechanic falls ill and he investigates.
Soon Jack becomes engulfed in a smokescreen of lies, setups, greed, and scandal. The deeper he digs, the more toxic the corruption he uncovers. As he faces off with the big-time players behind the scenes and tries to beat the clock before more people die, he realizes the chillingly unthinkable—he knows too much.
