Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Bestseller Kava takes a break from her Maggie O'Dell FBI profiler series (A Necessary Evil, etc.) with a fine topical thriller involving terrorism, government coverups and toxic waste. Sabrina Galloway, a young Chicago professor, becomes a hands-on scientist in Florida with EcoEnergy, a company that specializes in TCP—a process that converts refuse and other waste material into oil. EcoEnergy's CEO is angling for a $140 million military government contract, but after Sabrina's boss mysteriously disappears and Sabrina discovers a reactor processing something it shouldn't, her life becomes as endangered as Florida's waterways. She hits the road in a '47 Studebaker with Miss Sadie, a gutsy 81-year-old African-American neighbor, to find help, while Middle Eastern terrorists plot a nasty surprise for an upcoming energy summit. Engaging supporting characters include Leon, a funky hit man losing his touch but not his heart, and covert operative Natalie Richards, "a black Emma Peel." Kava lightens the seriousness with some deft touches of humor. Genre fans weary of serial-killer fare will find this a refreshing read. (June)

From AudioFile

Thrillers play on the plausible fears of modern life with just enough imagination to bring a chill to the spine. Sandra Burr and Mel Foster tag-team this narrative into a story with the perfect level of tension. Scientist Sabrina Galloway finds herself caught in a web of corporate intrigue and government corruption as a new chemical process is being developed that turns organic waste into a biofuel that could bring energy independence to the U.S. As a hearty band of Florida-based counter-culture characters helps Sabrina and her estranged brother bring down the villains, Burr and Foster work well together to elevate this thriller above the level of run-of-the-mill entertainment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good thriller, Jun 10 2008

By	Ted Feit (Long Beach, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Whitewash (Paperback)

[This book is not yet available in the US, presently only available from or through the UK or Canada]

Alex Kava has written a thriller that could not be more timely its themes are oil and greed.

Sabrina Galloway is a 35-year-old former academic, having left her home in Chicago one year ago to work as a scientist for EchoEnergy, a Tallahasee, Florida company apparently in the forefront of the race to convert refuse and other waste material into oil, a process known as Thermal Conversion [a very real science per the authors note]. The corporation seems on the verge of landing a $140 million government contract to supply the entire U.S. military, the first time such a contract would be awarded to other than a Middle Eastern oil company.

The book, surely written before the present-day preoccupation with gas prices and the per-barrel cost of oil ascending to ever greater and previously unthinkable heights, takes place during a post-George W. Bush administration, and got this reader in its grip early on [almost surprisingly, as I did not finish the one earlier book by Ms. Kava I had ever picked up]. But all the elements are here: a suspenseful story line, fast-paced writing, and engaging characters: Sabrina; her octogenarian next-door neighbor, Miss Sadie, whose gorgeous fluffy white cat, Lizzie Borden, plays her own small role; her father, seemingly victim of dementia; and her enigmatic brother, Eric, who she has neither seen nor heard from in two years, since the tragic accidental death of their mother; and then there are the Washington D.C. players, including Jason Brill, pragmatic chief of staff to U. S. Senator John Quincy Allen, a man with special ambitions of his own, and whose support of the EchoEnergy contract he hopes will further those ambitions.

This standalone entry from Alex Kava may make me seek out her several prior books, and it is recommended.
