"Meander (Mean) Valley" is "Lard's" town, his workforce and his business interest. If you want to work there you pay Lard for the privilege. He was happy and comfortable with the little "unspoken empire" of control he had created. But now he wants a cut from the new multi-million-dollar school complex being built, overruns on materials and a labor "tax" on workers. He is met with his first resistance ever - a new superintendent who is a retired Green Beret. Mike was hired to build the school when their superintendent mysteriously quit. A former Special Forces Soldier and retired professor, Mike lives in the city an hour from the valley and was slow to catch on to the level of local corruption and total control Lard had over the peaceful little valley town. Many locals either ignored it and paid a price, or enabled it and also paid a price. Suddenly Mike knew it was time to "soldier on" and with a few of his Special Forces buddies devised a plan to free the small town. Forever. Set in Washington State, this novel exposes small-town corruption and follows an exciting and dangerous "spec-ops" road to a chilling end!
