| About the Book | |
|
A 1967 refinery explosion outside of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, plants the seed for a covert plan that threatens the town of La Salle, Louisiana, a small farming town north of Baton Rouge. Forty years later, a late night phone call sends Arizona civil engineer Daniel Hartwick on an unwelcome business trip to La Salle. Vandalism and sabotage threaten to flood La Salle, which sits in the shadow of the massive Mississippi River levee. There he joins up with two colleagues from Kansas City, his friend Yanus Fautonov, originally from the Ukraine, and Nadine Russo who was called away from her husband and two teenagers. Soon after their arrival in La Salle, Yanus disappears from his hotel room. Daniel and Nadine are drawn into a manhunt for their missing colleague, and stumble into a world far removed from the cocoon of engineering. As they close in, they learn that Yanus is not who he says he is, and has a unique connection to his kidnappers. The two begin finding clues to an underlying conspiracy and become targets themselves. Personal distractions and a buried past collide, sending the engineers on a life changing journey. In the process of searching for their missing colleague, battling their own personal challenges, and running for their lives, they are drawn together.
