The Scallop Plot (eBook, ePUB)

A Cape Cod Thriller

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this thriller, star investigative reporter Samantha Fuller joins a feisty Cape Cod fisherwoman to foil a wind farm developer's evil plot to poison precious ocean scallop beds-and finds herself facing off against right-wing climate deniers. In Provincetown, MA, feisty scallop fisherwoman Isabella Ferreira goes up against a sleazy wind farm developer, Olaf Svensson, who wants to install wind turbines in the ocean right off the coast of Cape Cod. At a nearby scallop hatchery, marine biologists Leif and Astrid Borgen are already using the new gene editing technique CRISPR to insert a growth hormone gene into scallop embryos to make them bigger and thus more profitable-all of which is legal. But unbeknownst to the hatchery owner, Svensson is also paying the pair to insert another gene-one that causes PSP, paralytic shellfish poisoning. If this works, no one will ever eat scallops from this site again, thus freeing it up for Svensson's turbines. Enter Pulitzer Prize-winning Boston Times reporter Samantha Fuller. Together with Isabella, she slowly uncovers Svensson's deadly plot-but not before hundreds of people die. Along the way, love blossoms, tragedies occur, and the subtleties of the pro- and anti-wind power groups are exposed.
