'The Angel Bug', Ann Foweraker's fourth novel, is set at the world famous Eden Project in Cornwall, UK. This is a contemporary light thriller combining science fact and fiction, told by the people at the heart of the discovery. It all starts simply enough with the discovery of a problem with the leaves of the 'miracle tree' growing in the tropical biome but it ultimately leads to world changing consequences. The Angel Bug - blurb 'These memoirs may be the only evidence left of what really happened, where it came from and how it spread.' When Gabbi Johnston, a quiet, fifty-something botanist at Eden, was shown the unusual red leaves on the Moringa tree, she had no idea what was wrong. What she did know was that the legendary Dr Luke Adamson was arriving soon - and that he would insist on investigating it. This is the unassuming start to a maelstrom of discovery and change - with Gabbi swept up in it. What starts out as an accident turns into something illicit, clandestine and unethical - but is it, as Adamson claims, really all for the best?
