Synopsis

Renata Fechter is a strong woman in a man's world. She heads up the Eco-Cops, a post she's been given to keep her quiet and out of the way. But Renata isn't the type to stay quiet and out of the way, so when the Burghaven case turns out to be a lot nastier than anyone ever imagined, she swings into action. Laced with plenty of corrupt politicians, crooked businessmen, aerobic sex and toxic waste, Accidents Will Happen is a cocktail for our times.
