Produktbeschreibung

Since September 11, 2001, the mind of the country has been on safety, yet little has been mentioned in the press about the industrial facilities that line our major waterways and populate our industrial cities. We drive past them every day. Are they safe? And more to the point: are we?

A mystery/thriller, Unreasonable Risk introduces Hannah Morrison, a young refinery engineer who struggles with working in a man's world. When an explosion rips through the plant, Hannah tries to rescue a friend caught in the resulting fire. Later, she stumbles onto evidence of tampering and, determined to identify the saboteur, she persuades police to investigate. As a result of the fire, she meets and enlists the aid of an intriguing photojournalist, Noel Keller, who brings the power of the press to her search. Hannah's resolve is tested by a series of events that push the refinery - where everything is either flammable or explosive - to the brink of catastrophe. Unreasonable Risk tells the story of a resourceful young woman fighting to save her professional reputation, the refinery, the city surrounding it and, ultimately, her life.

Autorenporträt

Karen Hall, an environmental engineer and writer, lives in the Black Hills outside Rapid City, SD, with her husband Jeff Nelsen and their two cats, Rocky and Junior. Though she earned a Bachelor's Degree at the University of Minnesota, she confirmed Garrison Keillor's notions about English majors; she spent time as an editor, lifeguard, graphics designer, marketing executive, bank teller, secretary and cherry picker (reallyYakima Valley, Washington). None of them suited her well, so she went back to school for degrees in chemistry and chemical engineering, and spent nearly nine years working in Minnesota's oil industry. She left to start her own environmental consulting businessand to devote more time to writing. Her first novel, Unreasonable Risk, published in 2006, is a thriller about sabotage in an oil refinery. Ms. Hall has also published several short stories and travel pieces. She has recently finished the second in her environmental series, Through Dark Spaces, A Hannah Morrison Mystery, set in the hard rock gold mining industry of the Black Hills. Watch for it here soon! Karen is currently finishing a novel about infertility.
