Thanet Earth and the Crystal Palaces of the Coming Salad Crisis Era

Phantom EU neo-gypsies displaced by the econopocalypse, non-functioning CCTV cameras, a food crisis, humorless Dutch efficiency experts, a rogue transgeneticist, guerrilla gardeners and allotment nutters — all converging in that one giant patch of the earth excised from geography, from the cycles of time and even from itself, one day infiltrated by an Irish anti-hero of an undercover (food) cop after reports of tomatoes coming out of these Crystal Palaces have suddenly and improbably started tasting better, sweeter, juicier than organic ones, right after the children have also started going missing.
