ABOUT THIS BOOK
An aspiring film director bludgeoned to death and found in the tunnels under Fourteenth Street . . . A sly real estate mogul with a four-billion-dollar deal at stake . . . A ruthless candidate for mayor in a heated election year . . . And a lone civil engineer who uncovers a secret that could rock the lives of seven million New Yorkers. . . .
A former chief borough engineer, Richard Herschlag weaves an explosive, fast-moving thriller, played out against the glamour and grime of Manhattan--and the dark, intricate world that pulses deep beneath the cold concrete.
While helping two homicide detectives with a murder investigation, Chief Borough Engineer Jon Kessler unwittingly discovers a massive environmental disaster brewing below the Big Apple--driving him into the midst of seamy corruption, hardball politics, cold-blooded murder, and a shady cover-up as dirty as the sewers themselves.
For Kessler, time is running out. To expose the most horrifying deception in the city's history. And to save his own life. . . .
