Trent Island en ligne by Reynolds, Alan NEUF

This may be a work of fiction but this award-winning writer yet again shows great skill at intertwining facts into his narrative in a way that the reader will find it hard to tell one from the other...

It seemed like another routine, humdrum morning for Courtney Kline, the chief reporter at the Eastport Echo. Just another day in the office, at least until she opened an email sent from the chair of the anglers association. In it, he stated he had evidence that something was killing the fish in the local river but that no one would listen to him.

Out of curiosity, she contacted the man and they agreed to meet. But when, in mysterious circumstances, he ends up dead, she starts her own investigation which triggers a chain of events that leads to a roller coaster ride through cover-ups and intrigue. With her own life in danger, who can she trust?

Poor governance and bad leadership can have catastrophic consequences. Often the most major of events can start with good people doing nothing while those that should know better try to cover up their incompetence and criminality.

This fast-paced story will have readers rapidly turning the page to see what happens next.
