Synopsis:
Five years ago, internist and emergency specialist Matt Rutledge returned to his West Virginia home to marry his high-school sweetheart and open a practice. He also had a score to settle. His father died while working for the Belinda Coal and Coke Company, and Matt swore to expose the mine's health and safety violations. When his beloved Ginny succumbed to an unusual cancer, his campaign became even more bitterly personal. Now Matt has identified two bizarre cases of what he has dubbed the Belinda Syndrome - caused, he is certain, by the mine's careless disposal of toxic chemicals. All he needs is proof." He may find it in two strangers, two women, unknown to one another, who drawn inexorably to Belinda, into Matt's life - and into mortal danger.
And each of whom hold one piece of a puzzle they must solve, and solve quickly. Or far more than just their own lives that are at risk.
