About this ebook
"A masterful, high-stakes thriller."--Lisa Turner, bestselling author of A Little Death in Dixie
Practicing law has never been so deadly.
Hotshot Stanford law professor Jack Strider is on the fast track to serve on the Supreme Court until a bullet and a nasty, front-page family scandal shatter that ambition.
After he's unjustly fired from the law school faculty, a powerhouse law firm run by a former Secretary of State offers Jack a job and a chance for redemption. His first assignment: do whatever it takes to defend a sleazy corporate client in Juarez, Mexico, the Murder Capital of the World. Soon, Jack realizes that if he can't stop his client, millions of people on both sides of the border will be poisoned.
Plunged into the violence of the Texas-Mexican borderlands, Jack discovers that he can trust no one, not even the law firm he works for, so when attorney Debra Vanderberg is sent to assist Jack, he doesn't know whether she's an ally or a spy. He has no choice but to trust her and pray he isn't wrong.
Racing against the clock and dodging bullets, Jack and Debra uncover corporate greed and political corruption that lead all the way from a sacred cave in the Mexican mountains to the Oval Office. When the President of the United States refuses to stop the impending catastrophes, Jack risks everything, including his life. But can he learn the "ground truth" fast enough to save the millions destined to die?
Rob Sangster's first Jack Strider novel, GROUND TRUTH, was #1 on Amazon Kindle. His second, DEEP TIME, won the 2017 EPIC Award for best suspense/thriller of the year. A Stanford lawyer with experience in finance, politics, and public service, he's an avid sailor who has travelled to more than 100 countries. Rob and his mystery writer wife divide their time between their homes in Tennessee and on the wild coast of Nova Scotia.

After what seemed like a rather confusing start (could be my age), the book
bit and grabbed me for a great ride. Corporate greedy lawyers and corrupt
people who are in business to make money and get what they want regardless
of who they murder, assassinate or ruin reputations of innocent people up
to goverment officials come together over the most dangerous waste that is
hauled and stored in the USA. I read till I was,falling asleep and had to
finish the following day. It's a terrific book!

If you see corporate types as all greedy and government officials as inept, you may find this interesting. I found the story simplistic wrapped in lessons on hazardous waste. Not a good read for entertainment.

Fast paced. Intricate plot. Some minor errors but good read overall.
