Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Etienne Makepeace, England's celebrated "Tea Sage," vanished without a trace in 1966, leaving the whole of Great Britain wondering what became of the famed radio personality. Forty years later his hastily buried remains are discovered beneath two sickly Assam tea bushes in the Royal Tunbridge Wells Tea Museum's tea garden-along with the pistol that killed him. Nigel Owens, curator, and Flick Adams, tea chemist, are thus embroiled in the second mystery to threaten the integrity of the museum. Are they in over their heads this time?
From the Back Cover
No wonder the tea plants in the garden didn't grow!
When Nigel Owen and Flick Adams-the new director and curator of The Royal Tunbridge Wells Tea Museum-dug up two stunted Assam bushes, the last thing they expected to find was the body of Britain's most famous missing person. Etienne Makepeace, England's renowned "Tea Sage," disappeared forty years ago without a trace. But there he lies, in the museum's Tea Garden, buried in a shallow grave-and every policeman and reporter in the British Isles wants to know why.
So does the stodgy English bank that will fund the museum's acquisition of a major collection of tea antiquities. They're ready to pull the plug on the deal.
Nigel and Flick have no choice: to save their beloved museum, they must delve into the 1960s and discover what even the spymasters of Her Majesty's Government don't know-Etienne Makepeace brewed more trouble than tea during the Cold War.
In no time at all, Nigel and Flick are up to their teacups in ancient spies, modern femme fatales, and a mystery that threatens to turn deadly. . .unless they give up their quest to find the secret of Etienne Makepeace.
