AMID RAGE by Joel Burcat - Spotlight & Giveaway

 

Author, Joel Burcat's new novel, AMID RAGE (HeadlineBooks) is part of a genre of fiction that is growing - environment thrillers. In AMID RAGE a young Philadelphia lawyer takes on the coal industry.

A psychotic coal mine operator and cynical neighbors with an anti-mining agenda fight out a strip mine permit battle. Mike Jacobs, a 29-year-old environmental prosecutor with Pennsylvania's environmental agency DEP is caught between the warring factions, but is ordered to "babysit" the case. 

All Mike wants to do is to protect the environment and neighbors from certain harm as a result of the proposed mining. Sid Feldman, the Philadelphia lawyer for the mine operator, who oozes power and privilege, offers Mike a job midway through the proceedings. Miranda Clymer, the lawyer for the neighbors, pulls out all the stops to win Mike's affection and assistance. 

Mike's nearest and dearest friend Nicky Kane is by his side as his paralegal. Mike must use all of his talents as a lawyer and rely on his discretion and courage to do what is right and not anger the political bosses for whom he works. 

In the cataclysmic ending, someone will die, but who?



As a practicing environmental lawyer, Joel Burcat writes environmental legal thrillers that are both electrifying and accurate. His published shorter works range from thrillers about “the best beer I’ve ever had” to a middle-aged lawyer running off to Italy, jeopardizing the lives and careers of his young associates.

  

Burcat grew up in Philadelphia. He has two grown daughters, a son-in-law, and two grandchildren. He lives with his wife in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the place that provides the setting for many of his stories.

    I think we have to be more aware of the environment and do what we can in our every day life to help the future of the world.

    I think there is awareness but not very much action - I feel that we have a selfish population that see taking care of others as an inconvenience - unfortunately.

These ladies took on roles they never could have imagined during WWII in the Netherlands.
