A chillingly plausible thriller where natural disasters and human greed collide, threatening the global food chain. When fruit flies ravage European olive groves, the resulting shortage of premium oil opens the door for unscrupulous traders to substitute dangerous industrial-grade alternatives. Diane Benedict, a brilliant scientist at Rainbow Paint (UK) Ltd., is drawn into the conspiracy as she seeks a safe alternative for their coveted eco-friendly paint formula, already compromised by industrial espionage. Meanwhile, in Peru, relentless El Nino and La Nina weather patterns ravage native Jatropha trees, whose seed oil is crucial for biodiesel production. A bacterial blight creates a hazardous waste product that, due to the negligence of engineer Angel Ramirez, is unleashed into the ocean, contaminating the anchoveta fish population, a key source of protein for global food supplies. The result: a potent plant-derived estrogen mimic that slowly unravels humanity's ability to reproduce. Diane's relentless pursuit of the truth uncovers the counterfeiters and the callous individuals behind this escalating threat. But can she expose their crimes and survive their ruthless attempts to silence her before it's too late?
