Monday, November 13, 6:00pm – Danger Underground, Dusty Miller (w/ the Author!)
In Danger Under Ground, Alice is on the move again as she follows the trail of a highly charged kidnapping. Her friend Felicia, her dashing French lover Gerard, and their young tattooed friends Warp and RubyStarr must expose this politically-motivated crime. Alice suspects that the Global Energies Technologies, the multinational corporation with plans to build a fracked gas pipeline through rural Franklin County, is implicated. When the FBI is called in, the stakes get higher as Alice’s young friend RubyStarr becomes the primary suspect. Meanwhile, the G.E.T. corporation’s plan for a giant compressor station in neighboring North Mountain, is thwarted by a local women’s group who will use any means necessary to stop the project. When Alice learns that a deadly accident may have been first degree murder, she wonders if she will survive her investigations.
