The U.N.E.F. Protocols: The Provenance Breach
Files
Description
Book One of The U.N.E.F. Protocols trilogy.
When Dr. Julian Cross detects an anomaly at a Miami sustainability gala — a single, almost imperceptible pulse from the spectrometer beneath his sleeve — He knows two things immediately. The contamination is real. And it is already too late to contain it quietly.
What follows takes him across eleven countries in six weeks. From the Nopal cactus cooperatives of Zacatecas to the pineapple processing facilities of
Manila. From the port terminals of Singapore to the committee rooms of Lisbon.
From a cargo vessel in the Atlantic at zero four hundred to a leather worker's atelier on a narrow street in Dakar, where a field notebook cover has been waiting six months for the person who will need it.
Beside him, every step is Commander Dr. Judith Burns. U.N.E.F. field commander. The most serious and capable person Cross has ever worked with. The one who always knows things before he does. The one who has been building the infrastructure for this investigation since before the investigation knew it needed infrastructure.
Together, they are building something that the contamination program was designed to make impossible.
A case that holds.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The U.N.E.F. Protocols: The Provenance Breach is a literary espionage thriller set inside the global sustainable textile supply chain. Part le Carré, part
Person of Interest, part forensic procedural. The research is real. The supply chain vulnerabilities are real. The bio-based materials — Desserto cactus
leather, Pinatex pineapple fiber, INVERSA invasive species leather — are real innovations built by real communities. The investigation is fiction.
For now.
