Klappentext

It is 1925 and the Honourable Daisy Dalrymple, her husband Alec Fletcher and their small twins, move to a comfortable, large house on the outskirts of London. Set in a cosy circle of homes that share a communal garden, it seems like an idyllic family setting - that is, until the body of a murder victim is discovered hidden beneath the garden bushes.
Now rumours of bootleggers, American gangsters and an international liquor smuggling operation via black ships turn Daisy's life upside down. Alec, a Scotland Yard detective, has been assigned to ferret out the truth behind the murder, but in the end it is down to Daisy to find out who the dead man was, what relationship he had to her new neighbours - and who it was that did him in!
