In this 15th entry in the best-selling China Bayles series, our teashop owning heroine discovers a dead body while gathering herbs by the railroad tracks. On top of that, her brother unearths new evidence suggesting their father's death was no accident, and China is soon dragged into both mysteries. Luckily for her, "when China starts snooping, she finds several closets full of the kind of secrets that produce corpses" (Booklist).
