In the near future, society is split ever more into haves and have-nots. People will gladly pay through the teeth for the latest must-have product. Most famous and desirable of all these is a new 'green' furnishing material called Kalsinum, nicknamed 'Trash' by the popular press, due to its recycled components.
Nina, a young biochemist goes to work at the labs that produce it, and meets the dashing but troubled Doctor Edwards. One by one, she uncovers the secrets behind her predecessor's departure; the unusual recruitment techniques used by the company; and the disturbing truth behind Kalsinum, unknown even to the people working with it...

A thriller unlike any other!
With mystery, romance, humor and a touch of the macabre, Hedges' 'TRASH' is a page-turner from start to finish.
Nina- charming, intelligent and refreshingly capable, draws the reader into the stark, walled-off world of Garner Corporation. Here she will meet her team: Tara, Sophie, and the handsome William- a trio of quirky chemists who will help her settle into her new life of work, wealth and most importantly: keeping any pressing questions to oneself.
It all seems ideal... until it doesn't. When things at Garner just don't add up, Nina will stop at nothing to push past the surface and discover what lies beneath.
If you're a fan of slow-burn romance and shocking plot twists, 'TRASH' will not disappoint. Hedges keeps you guessing and has a wicked knack for pulling the rug from under your feet. You'll never see the end coming!
