ABOUT THE BOOK

There’s More Than One Kind of Poison in This Town

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.

My thoughts:  I read the first Jack Crittendon book and have to say this one lives up to the first.  Both great books!  In this book we visit a plant near a poor side of a town.  A town where people have excessive high rates of cancer and disease.   Enter Jack to figure out the why and how and bring the bad guys to justice.  His mechanic is ill.  The mechanic who is also a friend.  The death is getting too close to Jack and he is determined to find out the cause.  Great read.  Suspenseful and will keep you riveted til the end.
