Niobium

By Mike Herd

A body locked in a car is recovered from Jordan River, Salt Lake City. The find sparks an investigation by homicide Detective Harriet Sullivan that will endanger her life. She is drawn into a web of corrupt police, corporate bosses and US Government officials linked to the trade of rare earth mineral Niobium. Used as a super alloy in aerospace, superconductive applications and next generation computers, it is classified as a critical raw material and the need to secure a supply is becoming imperative. The American administration must choose between unfettered access to Niobium or the rule of law.

'Harriet was suspended, floating in darkness not knowing if her eyes were open or closed or even whether she was awake or dreaming. A worm of panic nibbled at her fears for the first time but she easily dismissed them. How long would they keep her here? Would she drown if she fell asleep?'
