It's one of the hottest days of the year. Chief Inspector Blume is enjoying a rare solitary lunch in a tranquil corner of Trastevere when an unwelcome phone call shatters his peace with news that an animal rights activist has been brutally killed on the outskirts of the city. The scene that awaits the Chief Inspector is horrifying: multiple knife wounds, copious blood. But, unusually, the investigation is already well underway - the case itself apparently clear-cut, the prime suspect quickly identified. The victim's widow is an elected member of the Senate, and the case is naturally given special priority. A couple of awkward questions refuse to accept the simple answers given, but Blume, well acquainted with the city's underworld, knows from bitter experience that in Rome even a murder enquiry must bow to the rules of political expediency. But when worrying procedural shortcuts sanctioned by one of his superiors are uncovered, Blume is left no option but to take matters into his own hands. The complex and uncomfortable truth he will unravel will shock even him, and in a world where compromise rules and the rules are compromised, Blume must risk his reputation - and his life - to see justice done.

Sometime this century the day will arrive when the human influence on the climate will overwhelm all other natural factors. If nothing is done, the twenty-first century will see global warming that could lead to conditions the planet has not seen in forty million years. With one out of every five living things on this planet committed to extinction by the levels of greenhouse gases that will accumulate in the next few decades, we are now reaching a global climatic tipping point. The Weather Makers is both an urgent warning and a call to arms, outlining the history of climate change, how it will unfold over the next century, and what we can do to prevent a cataclysmic future. Along with a riveting history of how climate change has shaped our planet's evolution, Flannery offers specific suggestions for action for both lawmakers and individuals, from investing in renewable power sources like wind, solar, and geothermal energy, to offering an action plan with steps each and every one of us can take right now to reduce deadly CO[subscript 2] emissions by as much as 70 percent. The Weather Makers is the most ambitious book yet written by a world-renowned scientist on the greatest crisis facing the twenty-first century. Book jacket.
