About the Book

The Flower Lover follows Richard Garcia as he looks into the disappearance of a rare, cultivated, orchid. Garcia’s queries lead him to uncover a clandestine group that is selling weapons illegally. Thematically, The Flower Lover covers the tacit approval of government and duplicity of multinational corporations in destabilizing third world nations.

There is a desire within us all to be heroic. We say we must be valiant but shirk the responsibility before the magnitude of the task. Not Richard Garcia. He has foibles, but idealism drives him to ferret out corruption. The Flower Lover has a complex, convoluted plot, and is fast-paced and cinematic. It keeps readers excited and turning pages all the way to the end.
