Benjamin Yablon is a prominent attorney in Denver, Colorado, where he has merged his legal expertise with his passion for storytelling. In his second novel, 'The Chinese Dam', Benjamin brings his readers into the twisted world of favors and influence needed to buy passage aboard the Pura Vida. The next chapter in the Pure Life series begins amid China's construction of the Three Gorges Dam, the largest in human history. The dam, poised to destroy 5,000 years worth of valuable artifacts, ignites an archeological arms race. On the cusp of a discovery as profound as the Rosetta Stone, Doctor Emanuel Founder is poisoned and left for dead. Now, with the help of a Navy SEAL whose entire team was destroyed by a rogue Chinese general, Emanuel's daughter must retrace his journey of discovery and danger to unravel the SECRET OF THE THREE GORGES. Danielle Founder will stop at nothing to rescue the Vin De Vie, a substance purported to prolong life - a substance that is of great interest to the creator of the world's most advanced hospital ship, The Pura Vida. Benjamin lives in the Washington Park neighborhood of Denver with his wife and their daughters.
