ECOCIDE DETECTIVES Mount Shaman Murder (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781944747015)

There is Homicide and there is Ecocide-both are Murder. It was the perfect setting for a murder, the crime of Ecocide: the killing of a river, a mountain or a planet and the life that depends on it. Mysterious Mount Shaman, major water source for Earth, dominates the wilderness, its clouded peak sheltering the Scythe River headwaters. The crime unfolds as a rich, evil narcissist, toxic waste tycoon Laird Muerte, plots with the head of the nation's public lands to store chemical hell in the sacred mountain. Even worse, Muerte has a secret mission so evil it will bring the Apocalypse to all life on Earth and perhaps to the entire Cosmos. Will the Ecocide Detectives find a way to stop the Mount Shaman murder? With their offices in a shabby brownstone in New York, Earth's passionate defenders unite to rescue Mount Shaman and the Scythe River: Spurge, patriarch and leader, Kale (painter, free solo climber, wingsuit flyer), Fen (video game programmer), and Fen's creation Cykad, a hologram Artificial Intelligence. The action heroes for the Ecocide Detectives are Zane and Joey, military contractors. You'll also meet Malthus the dog and Mount Shaman's protector, the Wanderer, as well as other unforgettable characters. At the climactic battle for the summit, there is a revelation from deep space so profound it changes everything. This is a noir detective crime thriller dedicated to planet Earth.
