THE MINE is a knife-edged thriller that follows a young biologist and a veterinarian, husband and wife, who naively run headlong into the ruthlessness of a corrupt mining company. Their investigation into the mine’s legality reveals fraud, deep corruption, and the likely murder of whistleblower --and this knowledge may threaten all they hold dear. Everything is at stake from page one in a story that independent reviewers call "Riveting," "Spellbinding," "Brilliant," and "Grisham-esque."

While fiction, THE MINE is based on Colorado's $200MM Summitville Mine disaster, Europe's Aurul Mine catastrophe which decimated over 150 miles of the Danube River, and the coming environmental debacle to top them all: Alaska's 20-square mile Pebble Mine.

Daniel R. Cobb is a husband, a father of three grown sons, and a career writer for the science and technology industries. He is currently at work on his next novel.
