Summary

Saving the planet is a deadly business, and with oil at record prices, there's plenty of cash to pay the killers.'Lala' is a Fiji island that is home to endangered sea birds, marine turtles and coconut crabs. But pity poor Lala Island, it is located over an unexploited oil field. And where there is oil there is blood, the real oil price. Brad Moore, Dubai-based Chief Executive of Peking Petroleum, wants to turn Lala into an oil production facility and bury the turtle nests under concrete. But there is another plan for Lala - a bright green plan. Brad Moore knows that to make a brain omelet you have to crack a few skulls. So he brings to Dubai two hard-hitters from Storm Front, an Iraq Security Contracting firm.He brings Teck, the emotionally challenged body-guard, to kill the man who is competing for Lala. And he hires Madeline Obst, corporate spin-doctor, the Liar for Hire, to make sure the truth is completely misrepresented. But Brad Moore doesn't know that in between the car bombs and death squads of Iraq, Teck and Madeline have developed some nasty history together.Neither does he know that Bren Hannan, niece of the green business man who is competing for Lala, is heir-apparent to the sustainable Lala project. Plus, she has just met Danny Lexion, a man who cares about nothing more than doing okay and looking good. - Is Danny more than just a dabbler in environmental affairs?- Will Brad Moore turn the turtle nests of Lala into a concrete parking lot for oil trucks?- Or will the Bren Hannan, the Climate Cop, find a way to stop him? - And why did Bren chew off a man's ear for leaving on a bathroom light?
