Nature. Nurture. Murder.

L.A. actor Joe Portugal just wants to keep the mealybugs off his cacti, give a little boost to his love life, and maybe make a few commercials along the way. And with a small acting role nailed down, Joe has every reason to mind his own business. But he doesn't. That's because a man who loved orchids has been found dead. And so has a woman who asked for Joe's help.

Never one to walk away from a challenge, Joe is plunging into a world unlike any he's seen before-the frenetic, highly competitive world of the orchid enthusiast. And suddenly Joe Portugal-actor, cactus lover, reluctant sleuth-is discovering that solving murder cases among the flora, fauna, and fanatics who thrive in L.A. isn't just a hobby, it's his true calling...especially since a killer has already come calling on him....

Includes The Joe Portugal Guide to Orchids.
