The Toxic Truth

Charlize Carson's career was in her rear view mirror. Retirement wasn't the terrifying leap she worried it would be. But when the phone rings, an old friend on the line, she and Mick consider taking the case.


A body is discovered just outside the grounds of a military base, sending shockwaves through the surrounding community. The victim, a well-known advocate who spent decades fighting for the rights of veterans poisoned by the base's contaminated water, has made enemies in high places.


As Charlize digs deeper, she finds herself caught in a web of government cover-ups, corruption, and decades-old secrets that no one wants revealed. But Charlize won’t stop until she exposes the toxic legacy that haunts the town—and uncovers why it’s costing people their lives.


In a race against time, Charlize and Mick must face the truth, some battles aren’t fought on the battlefield, but in the shadows.
