The Botanist

Publisher Fayard
COLLECTION Fayard noir
In this gripping ecothriller, Jean-Luc Bizien plunges readers into the Amazon's endangered ecosystem and the fight to save it.

In McKenzie v. Forest, a palm oil multinational is put on trial for destroying the Amazon rainforest, but when four members of the jury are kidnapped, the proceedings come to an abrupt halt. A day later, all four turn up on social media – stranded in the middle of the rainforest! In an unprecedented reality TV experience, viewers breathlessly follow the plight of the hostages while discovering the pristine beauty of the tropical forest. Who is the mysterious Botanist leading this operation? Will he be able to rally the world’s people to his cause before being captured by the police… or killed by the multinational’s henchmen?
