Publisher's summary

A psychotic coal mine operator and cynical neighbors with an anti-mining agenda fight out a strip mine permit battle. Mike Jacobs, a 29-year-old environmental prosecutor with Pennsylvania's environmental agency DEP is caught between the warring factions, but is ordered to "babysit" the case.

All Mike wants to do is to protect the environment and neighbors from certain harm as a result of the proposed mining. Sid Feldman, the Philadelphia lawyer for the mine operator, who oozes power and privilege, offers Mike a job midway through the proceedings. Miranda Clymer, the lawyer for the neighbors, pulls out all the stops to win Mike's affection and assistance.

Mike's nearest and dearest friend Nicky Kane is by his side as his paralegal. Mike must use all of his talents as a lawyer and rely on his discretion and courage to do what is right and not anger the political bosses for whom he works.

In the cataclysmic ending, someone will die, but who?

A mix of everything

Amid Rage is a wonderfully engaging story centered around mining in my home state of Pennsylvania. It's part thriller, part environmental/social issues, all around good read.

Another Burcat thriller!

Joel Burkett found his groove! This novel is really hard to put down. From the courtroom to the bedroom to the mining fields, the book never slows down.

Very Engaging Story

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I found it to be “page turner”. I was engrossed in the story as I listened to it. I enjoyed the character development and the conflicts created by the decision of Pennsylvania’s environmental agency and the battle lines that ensued among the parties and their advocates, the attorneys, as a result of the environmental agency’s decision, as well as the twists and turns of the plot.
