Serpent at the Well

Dick Franklin

4.9/5 (30914 ratings)

Description:This fictionalized story about the defense of "Lake Clarity" is based on many aspects of the real-life, fifty-year water war over Mono Lake in California's eastern Sierra. The resistance was murdered fifty years ago. How could the color of their masks solve the mystery of their deaths now? The Paiutes lived by the ancient high-Sierra lake for a thousand years. But in less than fifty, the Los Angeles aqueduct has brought this huge inland sea and the life it supports to the brink of extinction. In a last desperate effort to stop the devastation, the little town at its shore seeks to battle the seemingly unbeatable city in the court of law. Indies Today reviewer Jennifer Jackson sums it up this way: "Legal thriller collides with a beautiful reminder about the volatility and balance of nature in the captivating Serpent at the Well."Having few resources for such a costly undertaking, however, how might the town's estranged son, Ted Gables, a now successful New York law partner, be induced to participate in what will soon become a deadly struggle, both inside and outside the courtroom? Threatened by the possible loss of a key water supply, LA's dominant land developer unknowingly unleashes deadly assassins; the Sierra Nevada's high-mountain dangers also make their claim on life. Through it all, there is an impending collision between Gables' boyhood romance with Skye Gallagher, and his current New York romance with Romie Lane, the daughter of a media mogul. For Ted Gables, though, he will need to confront the meaning of the lake's shocking Indian prophesy above all else.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
