Sophie, an eldery widow who loves to garden, lives in one of the oldest sections of the historical city. The quiet neighbourhood is comprised of tall trees, narrow paved streets, aging residents housed in rambling two story homes that border the city park. The only thing known to disturb the quiet is the summer ice cream truck until a dead body turns up then all hell breaks loose. Greed, violence, and betrayal sprout up quicker than Sophie's tulips in this murder mystery.
