Coming February 6th: Reap The Wind
Would you drive from Houston to Cincinnati in a rented Lincoln Town Car in the midst of the worst hurricane of the century to be with your girlfriend who is giving birth to your baby?
Josh Goldberg does.
“Strange Fire is complex and intelligent, deftly plotted and character rich. As a bonus, it’s also like a college course in fracking and the moral and technical issues surrounding fossil fuel extraction; as such, it couldn’t be more timely. Joel Burcat has a winner with this one.”
-John Lescroart, NY Times best-selling author of The 13th Juror.
“Burcat writes with an insider’s edge about a dangerous battle over fracking. Strange Fire is a dark, suspenseful read that ranges from the gas fields to the courtroom, all handled with gritty style. A treat for thriller fans.”
-William Landay, NY Times best-selling author of Defending Jacob.
“A superb cast spearheads the story of an incendiary social and environmental issue.”
-Kirkus Reviews
