Welcome to The Big Apple Flower Show where more than just the plants are dying …
When Paula Holliday agrees to help a reclusive garden sculptor at a legendary northeast flower show, she expects a quiet weekend sharing garden tips — she doesn't expect to be knee-deep in jealousy, rivalry, horticultural homicide, and something the loose community of gardeners has dubbed the Javits Curse!
The mishaps start out small but the uneasiness intensifies when an overeager attendee is found floating in the river and Paula realizes she accidentally holds the clue to his identity and the reason for his murder. And so does the killer. That's when the garden gloves come off and this flower show turns into a real Slugfest!
This time out Paula is joined in the sometimes crazy (and neurotic) subculture of conventions and the "show" circuit by a colorful cast that includes Rolanda "Fort" Knox, a no-nonsense security guard, Guy Anzalone, Brooklyn's Tumbled Stone King and his wife Connie whose fake nails and high heels don't keep her out of the garden, J.C. Kaufman, a feisty senior who never leaves home without her weapon of choice, some snooty garden club ladies who never get dirty and a slick marketing guy hawking the hottest new product at the flower show — Slugfest, a foolproof pest repellent that people and companies are dying to get their hands on.
