Land Barons

Land Barons By A. Dru Kristenev What would you make of landowners falling prey to mysterious crop failings, unexplained livestock die-offs, arson, and murder while hundreds of thousands of acres of ranches, farms and pristine wilderness seem to vanish off the tax rolls and wind up in the hands of a shadowy entity? Two people find themselves in the center of an environmental vortex, sorting through all the strange coincidences and wondering how the pieces fit to complete the puzzle. Former newspaper publisher, Anthea Keller, and a retired cop turned college instructor, Gary Mathers, meet in the Idaho backwoods only to land in the midst of the land scam. Personal upheaval driving them from the big cities of Los Angeles and Portland the previous year, the last thing on either one's wish list right now is a relationship… any relationship. ••••••••• What does a former newspaper publisher do when journalists won’t cover the facts? Write about it. That’s what Kristenev is doing in the Baron Series. Read all four books: "Land Barons" – Environmental politics and land scams lead to murder; "Gold Baron" – A journalist uncovers the ugly, and deadly, underbelly of national politics; "Energy Barons" – Explosions trigger blackouts, disappearances and death in the West; and the new release that closes the cycle of stand-alone political suspense novels, "Blood Barons" – Vanishings connect sordid research and a primordial treasure hunt. You’ll wonder if it’s really fiction! Visit http://ChangingWind.org where character Toddy Littman, legal researcher extraordinaire, blogs on today’s news. His insights will shock you...
