Présentation de l'éditeur
McLean International is one of the world's biggest and most powerful mining companies. But its policy of pursuing profit at any price backfires when a colossal dam collapses in a well-known beauty spot. The consequences are devastating, and many local residents find their lives have been torn apart by the tragedy. Harry Yeats is one such victim, and together with Ingrid McLean, daughter of the eponymous mining CEO, he is determined to seek justice.
But to do so, they have to take McLean's on at their own very dirty game. Can they really succeed against an all-powerful corporate giant? Moreover, Harry has made a dangerous enemy. A single-minded fanatic who acts in the name of eco-terrorism. A ruthless individual, hellbent on getting his own way. Whatever it takes.
