 ged environmental legal thriller about fracking and drilling for natural g
 as.\nBIO- Joel Burcat\nJoel Burcat is an award-winning author and environm

 gerous battle over fracking. Strange Fire is a dark\, suspenseful read tha
 t ranges from the gas fields to the courtroom\, all handled with gritty st
 yle. A treat for thriller fans.” William Landay\, NY Times best-selling 
 author of Defending Jacob.\n 	“Strange Fire is complex and intelligent\,
  deftly plotted and character rich. As a bonus\, it’s also like a colleg
 e course in fracking and the moral and technical issues surrounding fossil
  fuel extraction\; as such\, it couldn’t be more timely. Joel Burcat has
  a winner with this one.” John Lescroart\, author of The 13th Juror\n
