Can Lawrence Kingston unearth the key to a deadly secret hidden by a mysterious ancient garden inscription in the newest English Garden Mystery?
           Codebreakers have tried for centuries to decipher the enigmatic inscription on a strange monument in the garden at Sturminster Hall, but no one has ever succeeded. When a murder occurs on the garden grounds, the intellectual puzzle becomes all too real, and Dr. Lawrence Kingstonâretired professor of botany and reluctant sleuthâis called in to investigate.
           Other than a scrap of paper bearing a random sequence of letters found on the victim, the police have no meaningful clues. Convinced that the crime must be linked to the seemingly unbreakable centuries-old code, Kingston begins hunting for clues that will help him unmask the murdererâs identity as well as the arcane mystery of the monument. But he quickly finds himself swept along in the dangerous undertow of a centuriesâ old family conflict and a second murder, by poisoning. What could be so valuable, so important to justify such extreme measures and complex codes to keep sacrosanct for over two centuries?
To unlock the gardenâs dark secret, Kingston must delve into the brilliant minds of three famous men to fathom what part each may have played in masterminding the riddle: an Admiral hailed as father of Britainâs navy, the author of Englandâs most celebrated poem, and Great Britainâs first Prime Minister. But as Kingstonâs investigation into an Englandâs past leads him closer to a killer in the very dangerous present, his own prospects for survival start to look less and less assured.
