As summer surrounds her Wisteria Tearoom in the beauty of a lush rose garden, death overshadows the tearoom a second time.  Maria Garciaa venerable member of the Santa Fe Rose Guildbreathes her last in the tearoom's front parlor, throwing Ellen into a morass of doubt and conjecture. Was it murder, or merely misfortune? Oras Tony suggestswas it a crime of racial hatred? The more Ellen learns about the inner politics of the Rose Guild, the more she suspects foul play.
