About
Old Mr Quenenden seems not to have an enemy in the world: having retired to a cottage in Berkshire, he leads an idyllic life breeding tropical plants. Which is why it comes as a complete shock when his body is discovered in his greenhouse - murdered.
In London, Peter Blair is hard at work on his own investigation into top-level blackmail in the City, but he quickly realises that the two cases have more in common than meets the eye.
A complex botanical clue means Peter must dig deep to stand a chance of solving the crime - but do the answers lie on home soil after all?
Wonderfully crafted yet grippingly tense, Death in the Greenhouse is a vintage J.R.L. Anderson mystery. JRL Anderson was an author of fourteen mystery stories and numerous works of non-fiction. He was a journalist at the Guardian for many years, before retiring to pursue his career as an author. He had a life-long interest in sailing and adventure, which results in many of his novels (as his original author biography from the 1970s puts it) ending 'with an exciting sea chase in a small boat'. Murder, blackmail and cryptic clues: Colonel Peter Blair's toughest case yet A classic English murder mystery from a master of 1970s crime Perfect for readers of Agatha Christie and Ian Samson (whose The Norfolk Mystery
was a recent selection for the Waterstones Book Club) Zaffre will be republishing Anderson's entire backlist of 14 novels
