The job should have been straightforward, until a second climatologist, Dr Jack Bannister drops dead on the other side of the Atlantic. AN INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACY Spire’s client - suspicious of her son’s death - asks him to travel to San Francisco to investigate Dr Jack Bannister’s death. Whilst there, he meets French Climatologist Professor Francois Trimaud who is working on a geoengineering project to seed the Arctic Ocean with an experimental substance - the aim, to prevent, or at least slow the Arctic’s melting ice. Spire soon discovers that someone has other plans for the region and wants the climatologists dead at all costs.

Simon Rosser’s scientific and psychological thriller Tipping Point is one of the best I have read in the past decade. He has a gift for fluent narrative, realistic characterisation and for creating settings that come vividly to life for the reader. He blends tension and suspense very successfully against the contemporary background of global warming and its sinister implications. –Author, TV presenter and Priest Lionel Fanthorpe - Simon Rosser, author of The A-Z of Global Warming draws on his experience to write Tipping Point, a pacey adventure-thriller with an environmental theme. With crisp dialogue and engaging characters, Tipping Point will appeal to readers interested in adventure thrillers with an environmental twist.
