Buckled in the Denver Basin is a tongue-in-cheek mystery designed to deliver one very important fact. The Denver Basin aquifers, used by numerous municipalities in Colorado, are indeed n-renewable water supplies. For years, I tried to get that message across through speeches and newspaper articles. Unfortunately, the fact is still largely igred. So I turned to fiction, inventing the town of Breeze, Colorado. Follow the exploits of Aggie Boyle as she discovers a dead body lying next to the town's water tank. Palms get greased, water reports vanish, and fleeing government officials seek refuge in the Cayman Islands. Don't worry, you don't need to kw a thing about water law to enjoy the twists and turns of Buckled in the Denver Basin. - K. Hare
