Summary

At the heart of the Copenhagen Climate Summit, a desperate bid to save a dying planet, lies a chilling paradox: a killer who uses trash as their canvas. When renewable energy champion Dr. Jonathan Sparks is found murdered amidst a grotesque sculpture of crushed aluminum cans, waste management expert Kimberly Jensen’s world collides with Detective Nathan Brooks’s cynical reality.  Kimberly, plagued by eco-anxiety but gifted with an uncanny ability to decipher the language of discarded objects, sees a coded message in the carnage, a cryptic indictment of corporate malfeasance.A second victim, entombed in a tapestry of plastic bags, confirms a terrifying pattern.  The Zero-Waste Zealot, a shadowy figure seemingly born from the collective guilt of a consumerist society, has arrived.  As panic grips the summit, Kimberly and Nathan, an unlikely duo bound by the bizarre nature of the crimes, delve into a world of hidden agendas and veiled threats.  Their investigation unearths a network of powerful corporations and influential figures who profit from environmental destruction, their wealth built on the backs of a dying planet.Each gruesome discovery raises the stakes, blurring the lines between activism and extremism, as the Zealot’s chilling waste-woven messages escalate. The coded warnings point to "Gaia's Breath," a controversial geoengineering project with potentially catastrophic consequences, and a ticking clock begins to count down.  Caught in a web of deceit, Kimberly must decipher the Zealot's motives before becoming the next victim.  Can she and Nathan expose the truth before the summit—and the planet—implode?  Or will the whispers of our discarded world be silenced forever?
