Summary

Donlay demonstrates a fine grasp of action-thriller boilerplate in his fourth Donovan Nash thriller (after 2013<U+2019>s Zero Separation ). A string of brutal murders, artfully shot on video and posted to YouTube, appears to signal the transition of the ecology-minded Eco-Watch organization from activism and research to outright terrorism. In fact, it marks the start of a campaign of violent revenge against Nash, engineered by the obsessive Garrick Pearce, the founder of a militant group of eco-terrorists in the 1980s, who blames Nash for first stealing and then killing the love of his life, conservationist Meredith Barnes. After targeting Nash<U+2019>s organization, his friends, and his family, Pearce performs a final act of operatic malevolence<U+2014>a grand drama of environmental defilement whose effects may last centuries. On occasion, Donlay rises above genre cliché, as in his portrait of Nash<U+2019>s estranged wife, Lauren, who faces adversity with a steady resolve that makes her a more interesting figure than her husband.
