Catalyst

When a petrochemicals giant is set to become number one in the world there are no holds barred. The key factor is the launch of a product that seems like the answer to everyone's prayers: an enzyme which biodegrades plastic into fertiliser. But Kit Harper knows that when something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Following the clues, he finds the answer. What was supposed to save the environment turns out to be something that would bring disastrous consequences for mankind. Blackmail, kidnapping, murder: there are some who will stop at nothing to prevent Kit from revealing the truth.
