The Shadow of Black Gold - When Corporate Greed Devours the Sea

When an oil tanker sinks off the coast of the idyllic small town of Port Vesper, marine biologist Elara immediately senses that this is no ordinary disaster. Together with her husband Kai, the harbor master, and drone pilot Lina, she discovers the shocking truth: the ship was deliberately blown up – with 28 crew members on board. When ruthless corporate manager Thorne arrives, he poses as a helper, but in reality he deploys highly toxic chemicals to make the oil invisible and destroy the evidence forever. The fishermen of Port Vesper refuse to stand idly by. With the simplest means, they confront the powerful corporation. Lina, whose mother once survived 16 years in scientific isolation, risks everything to get the incriminating evidence into the hands of environmental activists. A bitter battle ensues – against time, against bureaucracy, and against a greed that does not shy away from murder. Based on true events, this gripping novel tells of environmental activism, corruption, and the unbreakable strength of a community that refuses to give up its home.
