Opis

Jerry Lee Beaudry, a rich widow famous for her opulent gardens in Naples, Florida, is on a quest to find the traitor who published a false abortion story about her daughter, Poppy Beaudry McBride, a former beauty queen. The abortion scandal imperils the future of Poppy's husband, a conservative politician running for reelection against the smarmy Myron Mullett. Jerry Lee will do anything to find and punish the leaker. Molly Standardt -- the gossip columnist from Face Off -- sets out to rehabilitate Poppy's reputation. And Tom Lawton -- the detective from Face Off -- is hired by Poppy's husband to find the leaker. Together, Molly and Tom not only plumb the depths of Jerry Lee's ruthless ambition but also expose an unholy alliance between Hollywood moguls and radical politicians. The beautiful monuments, the mausoleum, and the deadly herbs in Jerry Lee's famous gardens say more about her than even her daughter knows. When Poppy sets out to expose her mother, will she die in the process? And how could Jerry Lee ever anticipate her Hollywood legacy?
