Celia Grant, botanist and amateus sleuth, is on her way to to New Zealand, where her daughter is is about to have a baby.
She also plans, at the request of her friend the
Duchess Hermione, to look for Uncle Bertie--Lord
Albert Melton-whose strange disappearance is
made even more puzzling by his photos of some
very rare plants and a very naked redhead.
Upon her arrival, Celia learns that the redhead is
Rosie Murphy, a radical member of New Zealand's Parliament, and a leader of an environmentalist battle against a dam that would endanger certain rare wild plants. Trouble is that Celia and her new friend, fellow botanist Tom MacRae, are certain those plants--the very ones found in Uncle Bertie's photos--aren't wild, aren't endangered, and were obviously recently transplanted at the proposed dam site!
Suddenly Rosie Murphy is murdered, and Celia
Grant is the prime suspect! Can Celia combine her horticultural and investigative skills to learn the truth about the plants, find Uncle Bertie, and
clear her name?
