He's just struck his sixth target, Idaho's Boon Dam, killing a dozen innocent people. But the bomber, who calls himself "Green Man," insists these drastic acts of violence--each one carefully selected to destroy a target that threatens the environment--are necessary to draw the world's attention to the climate change emergency. <p/>The FBI has no real leads. It's as if Green Man can predict every step of their investigation, skillfully evading all their standard tactics. <p/> Until young agent Tom Smith approaches the taskforce leader with an unexpected insight. Tom, a computer programmer by training, may be the only person with the skill set needed to catch Green Man before he strikes again. . . .<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Mr. Klass, an experienced screenwriter, incorporates shifting points of view and a score of diverse characters with well-developed backstories.
