Project Heller — Robert Clarke

The action of this environmentally focused thriller unfolds amid the beauties of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Moors, where the central character Simon Randall works as a geological engineer for a company involved in the disposal of nuclear waste. An underground toxic waste dump is in the process of being constructed, but details are leaked to the press. Randall and his friend Mike Drayton swiftly find themselves the prime suspects, and while they are on the run the action is enlivened by intrigue, fatality and corruption. The beautifully observed country settings enhance the menace of the far from beautiful machinations of industry and government.
