Someone is polluting the French Broad River in Asheville, North Carolina with benzene. Retired environmental investigator David Samuels and his chemical-sniffing dog Blackout are asked by David's former employer to find out who's doing it and why. David and Blackout get caught up in a chain of events that's more sinister than anyone can imagine. In fact, river pollution is just the beginning of this wild ride. Ultimately, Blackout plays a key role in uncovering the plot -- and David finds out that “retirement” is more than he bargained for! "Water's Edge" is an environmental thriller with plenty of twists and turns. This novel marks the beginning of a new series featuring two unlikely heroes, Blackout the dog and his baby boomer owner. Reviewed by Ekta Garg for BookPleasures.com:"Author Silverstein establishes within the first few paragraphs his protagonist's voice. He captures the essence of David Samuels' story and as a result the reader's imagination within the first five pages of the book. ... overall this immensely enjoyable novel will have readers staying awake at night to find out what happened next. I highly recommend it for anyone liking a story that contains good, old-fashioned suspense with a modern twist."
