London: Hodder & Stoughton, 2001. 1st. h/b. near fine, 1st edition, with unclipped d/j (good, slight bumping at base), blue boards clean, rose gilt spine titling bright; pages unmarked clean and tight.. 8vo: royal (250 x 170 / 10"" x 6_""). Tessa Quayle, a brilliant and beautiful young social activist, has been found brutally murdered by Lake Turkana in Nairobi. The rumours are that she was faithless, careless, but her husband Justin, a reserved, garden-loving British diplomat, refuses to believe them. As he sets out to discover what really happened to Tessa, he unearths a conspiracy more disturbing, and more deadly, than he could ever have imagined. A blistering expos of global corruption, The Constant Gardener is also the moving portrayal of a man searching for justice for the woman he has barely had time to love.

Believing that there is more behind the murder, he seeks to uncover the truth behind her death, and finds an international conspiracy of corrupt bureaucracy and pharmaceutical money.
