Kevin Rogan`s a young lawyer in a big New York firm. The last thing he needs is a pro bono case on top of his work load. His client`s in the mid-West: a smart and beautiful girl who has fallen into deep schizophrenia overnight. Her friends start falling as well. Schizophrenia isn`t contagious-or is it? The girls all live surrounded by fields of genetically modified corn. Could an infectious agent jump from corn to attack the human brain? The clock is ticking. It`s growing season. Can Kevin prove that allowing the corn to bloom will cause great, irreparable and immediate harm? Arrayed against him, one of the world`s most powerful corporations will stop at nothing to suppress the evidence. James Thornton, "one of the ten people who could change the world" (New Statesman) is one of the world`s top environmental lawyers. Founding CEO of ClientEarth, former head of an international nueuroscience institute, and a member of the bars of California, New York, and the United States Supreme Court, he is also a member of the Law Society of England and Wales.
