Traffickers. Hit men. Outlaws. Thieves . . . Our planet is a crime scene - but can we catch
the killers? Enter a world where people are murdered ecosystems are destroyed organised
criminals terrorise communities and corporate gangsters operate outside the law. And closely
following their every move are teams of secret agents vigilantes and scientists who are
fighting for our planet's future. Using insider sources and her expertise as a criminal
psychologist Julia Shaw takes us deep into some of the worst environmental crimes of our time.
She reconstructs the minds of the perpetrators in cases like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill
the Dieselgate emissions scandal and the Shuidong wildlife crime syndicate. From the Amazon
forest to South African gold mines she follows the impact of green crimes right to our
doorsteps and meticulously profiles the work of the heroes bringing these criminals to justice.
Shaw asks: how do the Earth's killers think? What makes their crimes so deadly? And how can we
stop them from stealing our future? Green Crime is the most far-reaching murder mystery ever
told.
