“Riggs knows the island—its flora, fauna, families,
legends, customs, and rumors—so well that every pace she
puts her senior sleuth through becomes another delightful

developer sets his sights on the Vineyard, a local
conservation group asks Victoria to search the land for
endangered plants in order to keep the bulldozers at bay.
With the help of a precocious eleven-year-old after-school
assistant, Victoria keeps an eye out for any likely leaves
on her daily walks—and is rewarded by finding a patch of
rare cranefly orchids. But the real surprise comes when she
discovers one of the developer’s underhanded lawyers—
pushing up daisies. Now Victoria must follow a different
trail, a twisted path of family secrets, greed, and
unsettled scores. And if she’s not careful, a killer might
take her off the endangered list—and make her extinct….
