About the Book

Shell Oil was accustomed to getting its way in Louisiana. With deep pockets, dedicated teams of attorneys, and influential lobbyists, the second largest oil company in the world could demand - and get - virtually anything it wanted. Until, it met the Vernon family. "Shell Game" is the true account of a nine-year battle that pitted a small Louisiana family against the giant Shell corporation, in an effort to clean decades of pollution on their property. Bullied, intimidated, and ridiculed, the family refused to buckle and took their fight all the way to the finish. This is a gripping, tense, and ultimately uplifting tale of how one family stuck to their guns, righted a wrong, and changed the way oil companies operate forever.

Review :
Praise for THE GREATEST PLAYER WHO NEVER LIVED Los Angeles Times .,."A GRIPPING READ..." "--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title." Mike Snider, USA Today .,."[Veron is] a master of fiction...a tale that mixes crime, mystery, and courtroom drama..." "--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title." Dan Raley, Seattle Post-Intelligencer "It is dual parts John Grisham and John Feinstein, a legal mystery with a golf backbone...this book is a keeper." "--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title." "J. Michael Veron's first novel is golf's literary rookie of the year." -- Dave Anderson, "New York Times " "Talk about a well struck first shot. Michael Veron hits a literary hole-in-one...a tale that mixes crime, mystery, and courtroom drama." --"USA Today" "Solid as a shot that nestles up to the cup from a 3-wood distance...a golf whodunit, southern style." ---Pat Sullivan, "San Francisco Chronicle ""A page-turning mix of golf history and mystery, almost as if John Grisham played 18 holes with Bagger Vance and decided to write about their day together." ---"San Diego Union-Tribune "
