The Constant Gardener

In a remote area of Northern Kenya, the region's most dedicated² activist³, the brilliant and passionate⁴ Tessa Quayle, has been found brutally⁵ murdered. Tessa's traveling companion, a local doctor, appears to have fled the scene, and the evidence points to a crime of passion.

Sandy Woodrow, Sir Bernard Pellegrin, and the other members of the British High Commission assume that Tessa's widower⁶, their mild-mannered and unambitious colleague Justin Quayle, will leave the matter to their discretion⁷.

They could not be more wrong. This career diplomat's equilibrium⁸ has been exploded by the loss of the woman he was deeply devoted⁹ to. They were opposites whose attraction sustained a marriage, the memories of which now spur Justin to take decisive action for the first time in his life and diplomatic career.

Haunted by remorse¹⁰ and jarred by rumors¹¹ of his wife's infidelities, Justin surprises himself by plunging¹² headlong into a dangerous odyssey¹³.

Determined¹⁴ to clear his wife's name and "finish what she started," Justin embarks¹⁵ on a crash course to learn about the pharmaceutical¹⁶ industry, whose crimes Tessa was on the verge¹⁷ of uncovering, and journeys across two continents in search of the truth.

His eyes are soon opened to a vast conspiracy¹⁸ at once deadly and commonplace, one that has claimed innocent lives--and is about to put his own at risk.
