As a new crime unfolds, Detective Gordie MacLean finds himself drawn into a web of intrigue that will not only test his skills but also change his life forever.
A local horticulturist has created a new rose variety that everyone is talking about. On the day of his big reveal, though, Detective MacLean is shocked to find Tommy MacNeil’s body amongst decapitated roses in the garden center.
MacLean assumes he and his partner, Roxanne Albright, can approach the case as they have before. He doesn’t know they are hunting a killer unlike any they’ve encountered previously.
Will Gordie MacLean realize death shadows him in time?
