Rufus Teague was a botanist, documenting rare plants on Cornwall's ancient island of St Michael's Mount - but his real discovery was far more dangerous than any exotic species. ...And it led to hs death.

Despite the advice of her partner, Detective Inspector Sam Kitto, magazine editor Loveday Ross, can't stay away from an investigation. Her journalist instincts scream that there's more to this death than meets the eye. When she and her friend Cassie uncover a coded secret message in the Mount's gardens, the mystery deepens.

Magazine sailing columnist Brian Cantina's moonlight photography expedition reveals another shocking truth: under cover of darkness, groups of men are being landed in isolated Cornish coves.

And then a second corpse is discovered in the same cove that Cantina had photographed. News that this dead man was an illegal immigrant confirms Sam's worst fears - a human trafficking network is operating in Cornwall, and the criminals are prepared to kill to protect their lucrative business.

Loveday and Cassie are drawn deeper into the conspiracy, when they trace the traffickers to their remote headquarters. Will the operation be smashed and the criminals captured? Or will more suspicions emerge?

Did the traffickers murder Rufus Teague, or is there someone else out there who wanted the botanist dead?
