Review posted Nov. 15, 2011 at Bookpleasures.com: Reviewer Ekta Garg says "this immensely enjoyable novel will have readers staying awake at night to find out what happened next. This reviewer highly recommends it for anyone liking a story that contains good, old-fashioned suspense with a modern twist."

First in a new environmental thriller series featuring Blackout the dog!

Someone is polluting the French Broad River in Asheville, North Carolina with benzene. Retired environmental investigator David Samuels and his chemical-sniffing dog Blackout are asked by David’s former employer to find out who’s doing it and why.

David and Blackout get caught up in a chain of events that’s more sinister than anyone can imagine. In fact, river pollution is just the beginning of this wild ride. Ultimately, Blackout plays a key role in uncovering the plot -- and David finds out that “retirement” is more than he bargained for!

Water’s Edge is an environmental thriller with plenty of twists and turns. This novel marks the beginning of a new series with two unlikely heroes, Blackout the dog and his baby boomer owner.
