The city of Phoenix is growing like a cancer. The Bureau of Land Management is trading land to make room for growth. Bankers, developers, and lawyers are making fortunes. Then some small-time miners cook up a scheme to get their cut of the action and all hell breaks loose in the desert. When Tom Kreuger, a BLM wildlife biologist, finds a lunatic miner buried in sand and partly eaten by javelina, he soon uncovers a quicksand plot. Then a co-worker disappears and another body turns up in a plane wreck. Gold mines, aliens, water theft, and conspiracy theories abound. Tom is in over his head and doesn't know it. This series pokes a bit of fun at the BLM, modern society, and just about everybody. Action and mystery are set in a western landscape, with the environment right at the core of the mystery. The Author - C. F. Button lives in eastern Oregon. Formerly a botanist and wildlife biologist, he has traveled and worked in the western states for over 30 years. snakeweedpress.com
