Synopsis: Academic conferences can be full of petty squabbles—and sometimes, not-so-petty ones. . . . &“There are few detective-story writers so consistently good.&” —Sunday Times Professor Andrew Basnett has returned to his old university for a meeting of the Botanical Association, an event that should be entirely benign, aside from the usual inflated egos and bickering. But he can&’t help being just a little curious about Carl Judd, an artist who was murdered here just two years ago. And, of course, about Stephen Sharland, who&’s in prison for the murder—even though no one thinks he did it, not even Judd&’s widow. The rumors are flying, the tongues are wagging, and then the only witness to the crime gets murdered, too! It&’s all too exciting—no, sorry, too terrible, too terrible for words. Thank heavens Andrew Basnett is on hand to weed out the gossip and dig for the taproot of truth . . .
