How far would someone go to protect corporate profits?
Just days before Morris Cutter, a retired powerful oil executive, is scheduled to give a pseudo-scientific report to Congress that will delay crucial action on climate change for decades, he and his wife are found shot to death in their Greenwich, Connecticut, home. The police call it murder-suicide. The coupleâs son refuses to accept the official conclusion and hires Geneva Chase, crime reporter turned private detective, to prove otherwise.
Genie soon learns that there are suspects everywhere, including within the deceasedâs immediate family. Morris Cutterâs own daughter hadnât spoken with him in years, and his nephew is a climate activist with a radical organization. But Cutterâs former company has a vested interest in keeping a low profile until it is able to present its mock-science on Capitol Hill. Genie is bribed, then threatened, to wrap up her investigation before the scheduled hearing dateâand to concur with the police findings.
When the lead scientist of the study goes missing, followed by Cutterâs daughter, Genie begins to piece together what actually may have happened to Morris and Julia Cutter, putting herself in harmâs way as she races to find the truth.
