Description
"An explosive debut novel"--Boston Globe Book Forum "Starks has made an impressive debut with the command, passion, and insight of an insider." -Michael Lucker, executive producer, Lucky Dog Filmworks "Wow...Once I was hooked, I was flipping the pages as fast as possible. I loved the whole plot because I found it to be very unique. The characters were very realistic and I loved how the story is told from both the protagonist and villain's point of view." -Tina Chan, reviewer, The Book Landers
Energy executive Lynn Dayton thinks her challenge is fixing the troubled Houston refinery her company has just bought. But soon she must save it, and other refineries, from the havoc and deaths directed by a French saboteur, simultaneously fighting off threats to her own life. As Lynn deals with chemical leaks, disloyal employees, a new season of hurricanes, and mounting casualties, Robert Guillard, a corrupted idealist, tries to manipulate her through her vulnerable sister. Can Lynn save her sister, her thousands of colleagues, and herself?
