A murdered mentor. A contested inheritance. And secrets powerful enough to kill for.

It's a new semester at Grantabridge University. Along with the beautiful flowers of spring comes the hope of no more dead bodies, the possibility of none of Lady Corinne's machinations, and a new professor!

Wilhelmina Schultz, Willa to her friends, has settled comfortably in her apprenticeship routine with the apothecary and mentor, Rupert Benson. That is, until she meets her new professor and begins to doubt her place in her chosen career.

Her professor is just the beginning of her problems. The apothecary shop is broken into more than once, someone's watching the shop ... and then she finds the body.

Every clue the Ladies of WACK uncover leads to more secrets to unravel. Mysterious medications. An apothecary who lost his license. Coded records to difficult to decipher.

Can the Ladies of WACK solve yet another murder?

Only time will tell . . .
