Murder and mayhem should not be part of a twelve-year-old girl's life, but that's exactly what happens when a fifty-thousand-dollar orchid disappears, and B.A.'Wolfgang' Fenstemier, courtroom sketch artist turned part-time investigator, is asked to recover the missing plant.
Wolfgang thinks it's a joke when he's asked to find a single missing plant, but he changes his mind when a dead body turns up at the school young Ashleigh Green attends. Except for believing she's jinxed, Ashleigh's a typical twelve-year-old, who just happens to be a child prodigy when it comes to riding horses. When Wolfgang learns the recovery of the orchid could help pay Ashleigh's way to the Olympic trials, he accepts the challenge.
His search for the black orchid leads PC challenged Wolfgang and friends through the seamy side of Georgia politics to dark, dank mine shafts in north Georgia.
Wolfgang learns the hard way, what pure evil desire for political power can exert. His opponents learn that Wolfgang isn't afraid to double down.
