The Genesis Modification is against a background of an industrialized world devastated by a series of environmental disasters. Cities are choked by vegetation and the parts of the countryside which haven't been reduced to a wilderness are farmed by prisoners and patrolled by the army. The action moves from London to The Ukraine and series of environmental then to California, where the population of Silicon Valley has become a wasteland. While The Genesis Modification is set in the future it is an exciting and entertaining comment on the way we live today and the failure of our political parties to deal with the dangers of globalization. The novel is also a warning of what will happen if we continue to treat our environment as a waste disposal system.

For Mike Allchurch the investigation, into the death of an American in a run down London hotel, was just another case his under resourced department would not be able to solve.

When leads started falling into his lap and the finger of suspicion pointed to leading members of the ruling Green Party, Allchurch knew it was time to stamp the file 'Case Closed.' However his young assistant, Brian Tyler, had other ideas - intrigued by anomalies in the case and links to the destruction of a GM crop trial some forty years earlier, Tyler becomes engrossed in an aspect of Green politics his teachers had omitted from history lessons.

The two detectives turn up a trail of bodies and soon find themselves on the wrong side of the law.
