Publication Day: 27th September 2022 by Cranthorpe Millner Publisher
The Constant Gardener meets Dexter – Green Shoots is a gripping conspiracy thriller with an ecological heart.
Brought back from the brink of suicide by a mysterious phone call, grieving journalist John Adamson is on a quest for the truth about his wife Christina’s death in South America.
A private investigator provides John with clues to what really happened, but also tips him off to investigate a spate of deaths of businessmen, all found with the same cryptic message: “Out of their ashes, green shoots will grow.”
From the protest-filled streets of London to the ravaged jungles of Ecuador, John is unwittingly drawn into a lethal plot.
There seems to be a vigilante killer on the loose, but who is behind these murders and what is the connection to his wife’s death?
