An Italian General. An British MP. A Russian novelist. An American spymaster.

In different corners of the world four high-profile statistics are assassinated in under a week. No one links the fatalities but a very important factor is certain: all of them has been stalked, searched for, and killed with care and preparation.

After that comes the fifth death in Switzerland and a macabre and sinister connection. An individual blood-tipped rose is definitely delivered to each funeral. Enter Wayne Connection and Flicka von Grüsse, a striking Swiss intelligence officer. It’s a perilous assignment which leads them to Athens, Milan, and on to EuroDisney…and an explosive climax.

Never Send Plants is the thirteenth Relationship novel by John Gardner and sees Bond experiencing some misfortune as he pursues the wrong killer with terrible consequences.
