Ecological Contemporary Thriller
Beasts of Eden
The bodies of endangered animals are appearing inexplicably all over the world. A herd of elephants strewn across Trafalgar Square, giraffes drowned in the Norwegian sea, whale carcasses piled in the middle of a desert. The world is shocked and frightened.
Eden, an investigator for a wildlife crime unit is forced to reconnect with her troubled past to investigate these brutal events.
With the help of conservationist-turned-animal trafficker Salomon, she must leave the safety of her work and delve into the criminal world to search for answers. Eden starts to notice patterns in nature, patterns beyond human control. What if these events are more than criminal?
