The Cardinal Moth
1905
Sir Clement Frobisher has devoted his life and fortune to one consuming passion: collecting the world's rarest orchids. When the sinister Paul Lopez presents him with the legendary Cardinal Moth, a flower of impossible beauty, Frobisher finally has the crown jewel of his collection. But the orchid-house that was his sanctuary soon becomes a theater of dread. A terrified butler has overheard something in that fatal conversation, something that speaks of dark history and buried secrets. As the magnificent flower unfolds in its glass case, so does a web of deception, blackmail, and murder close around Frobisher, his ward Angela, and all who dare to possess the Cardinal Moth. This Edwardian gothic mystery captures something essential about obsession and the high price of beauty.
