Oxford Bookworms, 1997. — 107 p.An English rose garden on a summer’s
day. A small boy watches with interest
as his great-aunt cuts the deadheads
off the rosebushes with a sharp knife.
What could be more peaceful, more
harmless?
Young Patrick grows up to be a calm,
pleasant man, with a good job, a wife
and two children, and the best rose
garden for miles around. When
somebody tells the police that Patrick
Aldermann is killing people. Chief
Superintendent Dalziel thinks it’s
probably all nonsense. But Inspector
Pascoe is not so sure . . .
