"A perfectly marvellous book" - Realms of Fantasy

"[Tepper's] most surprising work" - Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars

Police officer Dora Henry is investigating the bizarre murders of three geneticists, while a plague of trees brings the country to a standstill. Weeds are becoming trees; trees are becoming forests; and overnight the city is transformed into a wild and verdant place.

Stranger still, Dora can somehow communicate with the rampaging flora.

The closer Dora is to finding a murderer, the more disparate events begin to entwine. And the answers she seeks today may lie in a far distant future... one which is suddenly much closer than anyone imagines.
