Pru Parke has her dream job: head gardener at an eighteenth-century manor house in Sussex. It seems that, much as he tries, even handsome DCI Pearse can’t keep Pru safe from a brutal killer who thinks she’s already dug up too much. As the London police swarm her worksite, ever inquisitive Pru can’t quite manage to distance herself from the investigation-much to the dismay of stern Detective Chief Inspector Christopher Pearse. But enthusiasm over her discovery is soon dampened when, two days later, she finds in the same spot a man’s bludgeoned corpse. Digging in the soil of a potting shed, Pru uncovers an ancient Roman mosaic. On one such gig in Chelsea, she makes an extraordinary find. Determined to stay in her beloved adopted country, Pru takes small, private gardening jobs throughout the city. Now, as the sublet on her flat nears its end, the threat of forced departure looms. And after the Dallas native follows an impulse and moves to London, she can’t imagine ever leaving-though she has yet to find a plum position as a head gardener. Pru Parke always dreamed of living in England. Pru Parke, middle-aged gardener from Dallas, uproots herself and moves to England to start a new life, where she finds more than she bargained for-from digging up Roman ruins in a client’s garden to taking part in an outdoor Shakespeare production.
