Book Description
The body of a twelve-year-old girl is discovered on the grounds of an exclusive school. The next day, a motorist is killed when his car skids off the road and lands in a rain-swollen stream. It is definitely the wrong weekend for Detective Sergeant Timothy Wallace to be left in charge of Loworth Police Station! Having decided that neither death involved foul play, Tim’s boss considers it a waste of time and taxpayers’ money to continue the investigations. But Tim suspects the headmistress is withholding information about the student’s death. And he questions why a local resident would be involved in a car accident on a familiar road. A letter reveals the deceased motorist was guarding a dark secret, a secret that mirrors a tragedy that affects the family of Tim’s best friend. Detective Sergeant Wallace also learns that fifteen years earlier, the school’s teenage gardener vanished without a trace. When Tim tries to uncover a link between the gardener’s disappearance and the construction of a greenhouse near where the dead girl was found, someone attempts to kill him. It is starting to look like the school’s curriculum includes reading, writing, and murder.

Book Description
Hurrah, Sam, it is settled at last that we are to go to boarding school! "Are you certain, Tom? Don't let me raise any false hopes." "Yes, I am certain, for I heard Uncle Randolph tell Aunt Martha that he wouldn't keep us in the house another week. He said he would rather put up with the Central Park menagerie-think of that!" and Tom Rover began to laugh. "That's rather rough on us, but I don't know but what we deserve it," answered Sam Rover, Tom's younger brother. "We have been giving it pretty strong lately, with playing tricks on Sarah the cook, Jack the hired man, and Uncle Randolph's pet dog Alexander. But then we, had to do something-or go into a dry rot. Life in the country is all well enough, but it's mighty slow for me."
