England, 1923. Saffron Everleigh, a recently hired research assistant, goes to the University College of London's dinner party. She anticipates talking to people about the university's massive Amazonian trip, but she doesn't anticipate Mrs. Henry, a professor's wife, passing out from an unidentified toxin.
The primary suspect is Saffron's mentor, Dr. Maxwell, who had a heated disagreement with Dr. Henry a few days before. As the evidence against Dr. Maxwell grows and the expedition's departure date approaches, Saffron comes to the realization that she will need to clear her mentor's reputation on her own.
Accompanied by her mysterious study partner Alexander Ashton, Saffron applies her botanical expertise to investigate sultry greenhouses, shadowy gardens, and lethal toxins. Will her inquiry put her on the murderer's list, or will she be able to find the truth?
