Guns, Fire, and Hoses - E-book - ePub

In Boothville, a small northern town in the Canadian province of Ontario, everything is falling apart. The town's main employer, a gold mine, has shut down, the workers are rioting, and people are getting hurt; just ask Walt, the local RCMP Sergeant who ends up in the hospital, and Kinsie, a spunky red-haired paramedic who isn't afraid to speak her mind and nearly ends up dead because of it. But what is really going on in that closed-down mine? Only the CEO of the Great Northern Development Company knows for sure, and maybe his attractive young secretary.
And that big-city real estate salesman who goes by the name of Hawke. whose side is he really on? In the middle of everything is a hobbit-sized taxidermist with a Balrog-sized pile of bills and a love life that's way too complicated, whose past is about to catch up with him. Unless he and everyone else can find a way to work together, it will soon be impossible to avert an environmental disaster that could mean the end of Boothville.
