- Book Synopsis
- In Provincetown, MA, feisty scallop fisherwoman Isabella Ferreira goes up against a sleazy wind farm developer, Olaf Svensson, who wants to install wind turbines in the ocean right off the coast of Cape Cod. At a nearby scallop hatchery, marine biologists Leif and Astrid Borgen are already using the new gene editing technique CRISPR to insert a growth hormone gene into scallop embryos to make them bigger and thus more profitable - all of which is legal. But unbeknownst to the hatchery owner, Svensson is also paying the pair to insert another gene - one that causes PSP, paralytic shellfish poisoning. If this works, no one will ever eat scallops from this site again, thus freeing it up for Svensson's turbines. Enter Pulitzer Prize-winning Boston Times reporter Samantha Fuller. Together with Isabella, she slowly uncovers Svensson's deadly plot - but not before hundreds of people die. Along the way, love blossoms, tragedies occur, and the subtleties of the pro- and anti-wind power groups are exposed.
