Walter Stillwell, superintendent of Port Talbot's wastewater plant, and police detective Patricia Klein are back on the case after a wastewater plant manager in a neighbouring community mysteriously goes missing. Making matters even more ominous, he disappeared only after evidence of fraud at the plant began to surface. Is he on the run? Was he killed because of what he found out? It's up to Stillwell and Klein to find out!

PRAISE FOR MURDER IN THE AERATION

"Walter Stillwell, Port Talbot Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent, and Ontario Provincial Police Constable Patricia Klein reunite to investigate allegations of potential fraud at a southwestern Ontario wastewater treatment plant. Is this fraud related to a missing wastewater treatment plant superintendent who was found dead in the aeration tank? Was it murder or an accident? Follow the pair as they travel through towns and cities, crossing Canada's southernmost highways, while finding good places to eat, and enjoying each other's company as they search for, and interview suspects. Each uses their own unique professional skills to distill seemingly disconnected clues in search of answers ... often wondering if a crime was even committed. Standing well on its own, Murder in the Aeration picks up where Seldon's prequel, Murder in the Primary, left off. Similar to Murder in the Primary, Murder in the Aeration is a good, entertaining read with perhaps a more complicated and exciting plot that keeps you thinking and engaged right to the end." ---Paul Drca, CWWA Watersource

"Seldon's novels follow WRRF Superintendent Walter Stillwell and Detective Patricia Klein as they unravel the classic question: 'Whodunit?' Central to his writing style is accessibility. Seldon said his approach was creating a narrative that goes beyond the boundaries of water sector jargon and invites readers of all backgrounds to immerse themselves. 'Within the industry, I'm trying to establish a sense of community through storytelling. And as far as the community at large is concerned, what I want is to hand it to the three ladies across the street from me at the post office, and they can read it and get a kick out of it.'" ---Michelle Kuester, WE&T
