Fracktured

When a shale gas exploration company uses bribery to gain planning permission to frack, its plans go badly wrong, leading to murder and suicide. When the location for drilling is revealed as being right next door to one of England's most picturesque villages and also near to endangered wildlife, it leads to violent protests. Local residents team up with anti-fracking campaigners and wildlife preservationists to mount a massive protest which rapidly gains national momentum. Meanwhile, superintendent Bernie Greenwell and his C.I.D. team are convinced that there is a link between the murder and the suicide. Then two dedicated anti-fracking campaigners uncover evidence which links the drilling company.

A diverse cast of inter-woven characters, an extra-marital affair, bribery, corruption, suicide and murder all make this a compelling story that you won't be able to put down.
