Ebook "The Mighty T" Published, Set In Modesto CA and Hetch Hetchy

May 19, 2011 - PRLog -- "The Mighty T" is set in Modesto, California, La Grange, and the Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park. The novel explores environmental issues regarding the Tuolumne River, the Chinook salmon, the Jones Pumping Plant in the San Joaquin Delta, and the O'Shaughnessy Dam at Hetch Hetchy.

The premise of The Mighty T is:

Detective Grant Starr and his buddy Detective Ralph Bensen are enjoying a lazy breakfast before they leave to catch a Giants' game when a lunatic starts shooting people from the top of a twelve-story hotel. The shooter is crazy, but he's also crazy-good with the sniper rifle.

The gunman's found dead and Grant has no idea who he is or why he killed nine people, apparently at random. When two more are murdered the following night, Grant finds a thread connecting the eleven killings.

Unfortunately, he's up against a well-funded fanatical eco-terrorist with a gang of hired mercenaries. After a building housing giant pumps in the San Joaquin Delta is blown up with a fertilizer bomb, Grant chases the gang into the foothills, then to the Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park.

The unthinkable happens: the O'Shaughnessy Dam at Hetch Hetchy is attacked with multiple bombs. It fails in a most spectacular way and a sixty-foot-high wall of water is sent hurdling down the mountain...

Half a million people catch a break when the second, downstream dam holds. But the madman has a backup plan, and he doesn't intend on failing twice.

Grant and his team stop what would have been the worst U.S. disaster since 9/11, with seconds to spare.
