DESCRIPTION - In an alleyway in San Jose, Costa Rica, a botanist is shot to pieces, and the specimens he is carrying are stolen. A primitive but thriving coffee collective in the mountains runs into sudden opposition from the authorities. An agricultural field station in Nicaragua is wiped out in a surprise attack, and three years' worth of research is destroyed. These events and the brutal killings that follow are the consequences of a covert operation mounted by Greenfinger Inc., a subsidiary of the giant Associated Foods International. A contract killer and a commando group trained on $5 lines have been given their orders: Destroy 'Ldt,' a new coffee hybrid, and anyone who has knowledge of it. When Kit Carter, an agricultural economist for the United Nations Agricultural and Food Organization, fights back to save the collective, he is trapped by the ugly truths of multinational greed. It is his beautiful and vibrant wife, Esther, surely one of the most unusual and provocative characters in recent fiction, who must face the chilling forces of evil alone. GREENFINGER is thrilling entertainment, an ingenious adventure that leads the reader from the back-alley slums of Central America up into the eerie canopy of the tropical rain forest. A novelist of international distinction, Julian Rathbone once again proves himself a master of suspense, a writer whom The Daily Telegraph has called 'one of the very best storytellers around.' inventory #8324.
