In this trilogy, Maureen A. Ruhl shares her 3 part book series; Smoke and Mirrors, Smoke and Mirrors: The Lost DEP Report, and The Final Chapter. Smoke and Mirrors: Power plants move into despairing rural towns where distortions of truth and created to mislead. Their promises were nothing more than the federal minimum requirements. Take a behind-the-scenes look at small-town politics and corruption. Smoke and Mirrors: The Lost DEP Report: E. coli, fecal matter, and higher than acceptable chemical levels in the water table were identified and were alarming! The contamination was outlined in a “lost” Department of Environmental Resources report in Noyes Township, Pennsylvania. But what happens when the reports’ information and warnings are willfully disregarded? The Final Chapter: This book is the third and final chapter of the power plant story. It is the result of a collision between avarice and collective morality. Innocence is lost when promises are contrived, and credibility is consequential.
