Whitewash

By Alex Kava

Book Overview

TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA EchoEnergy has broken through the barriers to alternative fuel sources. The impact on world markets could be staggering. But amid the euphoria, Sabrina Galloway, one of EE's top scientists, makes an alarming discovery. Sabotage of the process has unleashed an eco-disaster, and toxic waste is poisoning Florida waters and the Gulf of Mexico. WASHINGTON, D.C. Youthful congressional chief of staff Jason Brill prepares his boss for the upcoming International Energy Summit. But he's beginning to realize the senator's support of EchoEnergy and its CEO may involve more private than public interests. Sabrina and Jason have never met. But in a world that values corporate greed over human life, they have attracted the notice of silent but powerful enemies. And these relentless shadow players leave tracks all the way from the Middle East to Pennsylvania Avenue.

Customer Reviews

My first Kava!

Being my first time reading a Kava book...I liked the story. I got to hear the unabridged audio. I enjoyed the male/female reading. The fishing captain with his collection of boats was my favorite part...and Miss Sadie! The only thing I would have changed was the amount of profanity. I always get the thought- an author has misplaced the dictionary and run out of words, in real life too. It is always refreshing to read a book full of quality words.

White Wash by Alex Kava

A typical Alex Kava book...a real page turner from beginning to end. I love her Maggie O'Dell stories but this is a good one too. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a mystery.

Whitewash

Both my husband and myself enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The suspense kept you glued to the cd player until the book was done.

a wonderful thriller

In Florida, research scientist Sabrina Galloway feels excited about working for EcoEnergy as the firm converts waste material into oil and bids on a $140 million military contract. However her euphoria about helping the environment ends when her supervisor Dr. Dwight Lansik vanishes. Although concerned she continues her work until she uncovers a "shut down" reactor is processing something that has nothing to do with making fuel out of garbage and could convert Florida and beyond into a wasteland. Frightened because she fears Dwight was murdered, Sabrina flees with octogenarian Miss Sadie in the latter's car bought just after WW II. Seeking help while the police think she killed Dwight and the real culprit wants her silenced, she realizes that terrorists plan for a big bang for at an energy conference with the seeming "WHITEWASH" cooperation of a senator and EcoEnergy. Leaving Maggie O'Dell, a much needed breather from serial killing profiling, Alex Kava provides a wonderful thriller that grips the audience once the heroine realizes she is a scientist in distress. The plausible story line is fast-paced and loaded with non-stop action, but what makes the cat and mouse chase fresh and entertaining is the support cast who bring humor to the overall serious tone. Ms. Kava is at her best with this one sitting Studebaker escape. Harriet Klausner
