A Murder at the Flower Show

What happens when the head of a major Boston cultural institution turns out to be a con man... and dead? Just hours after the Northeast Garden and Flower Show's opening night gala, St. John Grainger-Elliot, head of the venerable New England Botanical Society, is found brutally murdered. For newly minted Lieutenant Victoria Lee it's a high-profile investigation that could either accelerate or derail her meteoric career - and there are higher-ups who resent the promotion of a 30-year-old woman. Working with former partner John Flynn, and young, computer-savvy Detective Jason Alvarez, Lee learns that Grainger-Elliot was not what he claimed to be. He was a con man, and funds for his high-profile signature project, 'The Gardens at Government Center' are either missing or were never raised. Who killed him? A Society employee or trustee? A flower show exhibitor? A business partner whose reputation he ruined? And, was Grainger-Elliot's wife a dupe or an accomplice? Horticulture and high tech will solve the crime. A Murder at the Flower Show is a twisting, fast-paced story that goes behind the scenes into the not-so-genteel world of flowers and money.
