Blind Eye
Eco-thriller
A fast paced environmental thriller
Set in the Indonesian rainforest, Blind Eye is a political and environment thriller exploring moral predicaments and personal choices.
Ben Fletcher, a pragmatic forestry economist, is sent to the Indonesian rainforest to compile a report for the UK Government. Will he open his eyes to what others turn away from?
“A compelling environmental thriller that underscores the challenge of combating environmental degradation in the face of powerful interests.” Lord Jonny Oates, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson on Energy and Climate Change.
“I thoroughly enjoyed this book which is fast paced and engaging. Having worked on illegal logging issues in Indonesia I can add that the setting and the actions are realistic. The issues raised in the book are important for our survival on this planet. Berty Van Hensbergen, Tropical Forester.
