A dynamic young businesswoman is in danger of losing control of her flower shop, and someone sends poisoned bonbons to a nightclub hostess. Mason must reacquire some stock and defend the businesswoman. This novel is the first to feature Lt. Arthur Tragg, who was introduced as a replacement for Sgt. Holcomb. Gardner felt that Tragg, though plenty tough and smart, had a smoother approach than the rough-and-ready Holcomb character, and gave the police a better image. Holcomb would continue to appear sometimes as a secondary character, though.
