About This Book
An engineer accepts leadership of a remote irrigation and dam project and confronts treacherous geology, hazardous tunnel work, and a string of accidents and threats that suggest sabotage. Technical problem-solving and fieldwork alternate with episodes of violence, legal entanglement, and rustling, while personal loyalties and a developing romantic subplot complicate company rivalries. The narrative moves through investigative, courtroom, and scientific scenes as suspenseful incidents and practical challenges build toward a final reckoning.
