Eustacia Rose is Professor of Botanical Toxicology and lives alone in London with her extensive but exquisite collection of poisonous plants. She tends to her garden with meticulous care, and likes to look through her telescope at her neighbors (it's science, not spying). In all, Eustacia's life never changes. That is, until the day she hears a scream and the temptation to investigate proves irresistible. Through her telescope, Professor Rose is drawn into the life of an extraordinarily beautiful neighbor, Simone, and nicknames the men who visit her after poisonous plants according to the toxic effect they have on Simone. But who are these four men? And why does Eustacia Rose recognize one of them? When her precious garden is vandalized and someone close to Simone is murdered with a toxin derived from a rare poisonous plant, Eustacia find herself implicated in the crime and decides to take matters into her own hands…
