Vent - 9781541117136

When Jack McCarty receives an offer to trade his going-nowhere position at NYU for a full research professorship at Penn State, he accepts. It's a whole new future doing what he loves, for the people he loves. But not long after he moves his wife and three children to western Pennsylvania, he discovers that greed and corruption have the entire region on the precipice of an environmental crisis that could mean there's no future at all. Jack and his family are forced to realize there is almost nothing those in power won't do to keep it. Art Weigold's Vent, his first novel, tells the story of what happens as the crisis grows worse, the conspiracy to exploit the town of Bloomsberg starts to unravel and how far the conspirators will go to save themselves at the expense of anyone and everyone in their way. From the labs of Penn State to the corridors of state government, the web of deceit and fraud becomes more tangled and snares everyone, including the McCarty's, who get too close.
