Interior decorator Mara Dunn discovers the mummified corpse of a murdered infant in the manor house of wealthy Christophe de Bonfond. The body, concealed for over a century, brings to light critical information on an elusive Lady's Slipper Orchid that orchidologist Julian Wood avidly seeks. It also unleashes terrifying suspicions about who the de Bonfonds really were. When violent death strikes in the present day, Mara and Julian's investigation leads them to uncover a past filled with hatred, greed, and dark superstitions. The Orchid Shroud is the second in the Death in the Dordogne series.
