In the heat of the desert, Detective Cody Oliver inadvertently stumbles upon a strange garden adorned with exotic flowers. Upon closer inspection, he finds the garden is but a cover for the scores of bodies buried below. Soon, the small town of Mt. Dessicate plunges into chaos as journalists, reporters, and cameramen from across the nation descend upon the tiny, desert town to get a piece of the action.
Along with the media, a mysterious woman appears—she may be the only person who has come face to face with the killer, dubbed the Botanist, and lived to tell the tale. If Cody can't piece together a timeline of the land the crime scene is located on, decipher how the woman's mysterious past is connected to the killer, and bring the Botanist to justice, he may lose the people he values most.

ReplyDeleteOMG, I love that cover!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cover and title! I flahsed on an episode of the show The Blacklist. There's a cleaner who is not a good guy at all. And it was as creepy at this one sounds.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great cover! It reflects the theme of the book well - and although it's about death, it's pretty to look at.
ReplyDeleteIt really is pretty to look at although it's such a dark book. I enjoy it a lot!
ReplyDeleteI do things like that as well sometimes, though I have not seen The Blacklist.
ReplyDeleteI do too :D
