  A kidnapping draws a former lawyer turned money launderer into a curious plot to overthrow the Cuban government. 
  Vance Courage has sworn off life as a lawyer and is living comfortably off the millions of dirty dollars he helped salvage and keeps hidden in an offshore account. Out of the blue, he gets an offer to invest in a dive outfit in the Cayman Islands and the plan is simple—buy more boats and book lots of fake trips. He’s intrigued and wants to legitimize some of the money but so far, every business venture he’s attempted has been an unmitigated disaster. Lauren Gold, his cohort and girlfriend and herself a millionaire, catches a flight from Miami to the Cayman Islands to check it out—and promptly disappears. 
  Following a cryptic text message from the kidnapper, Courage meets a mysterious Cuban woman at a popular Miami tourist attraction prepared to receive the ransom demand. The lady in white knows secrets about his family and the source of his illicit cash; she warns him the counterrevolution is coming, and that ‘Monkey’ needs his money. Ricardo ‘Monkey’ Morales is an enigma—a real world Cuban-born James Bond rumored to be a drug runner, CIA operative and international assassin—but there’s a problem. Monkey was shot and killed in a bar fight in Miami decades ago. 
  While Lauren’s safety hangs in the balance, Courage discovers a manifesto written in Spanish detailing plans to stage a coup to overthrow the Cuban communist government. Desperately weighing fact from fiction, Courage finds himself in a strange world where dead men walk . . . and nothing is as it seems.

  It is an unusual thing, to live in a botanical garden. But Simon and Gregor are an unusual pair of gentlemen. Hidden away in their glass sanctuary from the disapproving tattle of Victorian London, they are free to follow their own interests without interference. For Simon, this means long hours in the dark basement workshop, working his taxidermical art. Gregor's business is exotic plants—lucrative, but harmless enough. Until his latest acquisition, a strange fungus which shows signs of intellect beyond any plant he's seen, inspires him to attempt a masterwork: true intelligent life from plant matter. 
   
   
   
  Driven by the glory he'll earn from the Royal Horticultural Society for such an achievement, Gregor ignores the flaws in his plan: that intelligence cannot be controlled; that plants cannot be reasoned with; and that the only way his plant-beast will flourish is if he uses a recently deceased corpse for the substrate. 
   
   
   
  The experiment—or Chloe, as she is named—outstrips even Gregor's expectations, entangling their strange household. But as Gregor's experiment flourishes, he wilts under the cost of keeping it hidden from jealous eyes. The mycelium grows apace in this sultry greenhouse. But who is cultivating whom?
