One of the most interesting cases of Verity Birdwood. A large publishing house is preparing a new sensational project - a series of promotions for four popular authors of the company. A murderous plan - and murderous in all respects. Because it's hard to imagine people hating each other as much as four writers forced to go on tour together. One of the four will die. But who is the sarcastic alcoholic who became famous for his gardening books? Is the melancholic novelist a favorite and lover of the fair sex? A money-hungry author of trashy tabloid biographies? Or a clever manipulator, scribbling sentimental tales for children? Which of them will become the victim? And will Verity be able to find the killer?
