For years I had wandered Australia with an aching heart. Everywhere I had ever travelled across the vast expanse of the fabulous country where I was born I had seen devastation, denuded hills, eroded slopes, weeds from all over the world, feral animals, open-cut mines as big as cities, salt rivers, salt earth, abandoned townships, whole beaches made from beer cans... One bright day in December 2001, sixty-two-year-old Germaine Greer found herself confronted by an irresistible challenge in the shape of sixty hectares of dairy farm, one of many in south-east Queensland that, after a century of logging, clearing & downright devastation, had been abandoned to their fate. She didn`t think for a minute that by restoring the land she was saving the world. She was in search of heart`s ease. Beyond the acres of exotic pasture grass & soft weed & the impenetrable curtains of tangled Lantana canes there were Macadamias dangling their strings of unripe nuts, & Black Beans with red & yellow pea flowers growing on their branches. & the few remaining White Beeches, stupendous trees up to forty metres in height, logged out within forty years of the arrival of the first white settlers. To have turned down even a faint chance of bringing them back to their old haunts would have been to succumb to despair. Once the process of rehabilitation had begun, the chance proved to be a dead certainty. When the first replanting shot up to make a forest & rare caterpillars turned up to feed on the leaves of the new young trees, she knew beyond doubt that at least here biodepletion could be reversed. Greer describes herself as an old dog who succeeded in learning a load of new tricks, inspired & rejuvenated by her passionate love of Australia & of Earth, most exuberant of small planets. ...

Castagnetti, a bee-keeping private detective, is hired by a businessman to find out who set fire to his car & why. It seems like a dead-end case, nothing more than an instance of mindless vandalism. But before long the businessman is receiving threatening phonecalls, his factory is burnt to the ground & an employee loses his life. Castagnetti traces similar cases of arson across the city & realises that this sort of systematic intimidation happens when the owner`s land is about to be redesignated as residential. That`s the time when developers can double their money...just as long as they`ve got someone on the inside of city hall to tip them off about the redesignation; & just as long as they can persuade someone to sell. The last person to stand in the developers` way was whacked in Milan a year ago. Castagnetti needs to solve the case before his client, & his city, are both buried in cement. ...
