Cornelius' one desire is to grow the perfect black tulip. But after his godfather is murdered, he finds himself in prison, facing a death sentence. His jailer's lovely daughter holds the key to his survival, and his chance to produce the precious black blossom. Yet he has one more enemy to contend with!©2000 Tantor Media Incorporated Classics Crime Fiction European Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Literary Fiction Literary History & Criticism World Literature Fiction Crime
