Roses are red, a pirate is dead... Batten down the hatches! There's murder on Hibiscus Island!
Every year in September, the inhabitants of Hibiscus Island enthusiastically celebrate their cultural connections to the Golden Age of Piracy.
But tales of pirates and privateers, Spanish galleons and smugglers' tunnels, and long-lost treasure can't compete with the mystery of a very modern murder!
When the body of a buccaneer is discovered in the garden she is designing, horticulturist Holly Gold has to abandon the roses and lookout for clues!
On an island awash in a sea of speculation and suspicion, it's all hands on deck as Holly and her crime-solving crew set course in search of a killer.

Dead men tell no tales... or do they?
