"Celia Grant is a botanist, a petite widow from Sussex who finds herself drawn into the personal and business-related problems of Richard Galliant, a stylish fabric designer whose recent unpredictable behavior is inhibiting his family's move up the social ladder. Hired to instantaneously rehabilitate the neglected gardens of the Galliant country home, Celia discovers that it's not drink behind the handsome executive's odd actions --- the latest of which was bussing the Princess of Wales at a local dedication --- but a rare tropical plant with hallucinogenic properties. Celia and her handsome young manager, whose girlfriend works for the designer, sift through the Galliant entourage for both motive and perpetrator. Suspects abound: the no-account son and his rock-star friend; Galliant's talented but weak-willed daughter; his ambitious wife; his opera-star mistress and her Central American husband ... but when the unknown poisoner turns to murder, can Celia discover the cuplrit before she herself becomes the next target?"@en
