Singapore 1946
When all the angsana trees on the island bloom at the same time it's a glorious fragrant display that lasts only one day... and the next morning Su Lin comes across an old friend laughing hysterically while holding her dead lover on the thick carpet of yellow flowers by the quarry pool that was their childhood haunt. She instantly realises her friend could not be the killer as she could not have sliced so cleanly through the man's throat with no weapon in sight.
As she tries to help her friend, Su Lin has to figure out where her own loyalties lie. Angsana blossoms aren't the only things disappearing overnight in post-war Singapore as the newly returned British - increasingly on edge because of anti-colonial uprisings in nearby Indonesia - rush to change laws and revoke permits and positions.
But more pressingly, Su Lin has to prove her friend's innocence and stop a calculating killer from murdering again...
