The crimes of the past echo in the present in a chilling new case for the Detective’s Daughter. The summer of 1976 was the hottest in living memory. In the Botanical Gardens at Kew, a lost little girl stumbled upon a deserted gallery. Dizzied by the heat, she thought she saw a woman lying dead on the ground.

What she uncovers will draw her into the obsessive world of botany, and towards an unsolved murder that has lain dormant for decades...
