Green Girls

Jacob Winter is a writer. And coming up with crazy ideas is his job. Which is why he refuses to take the medication prescribed for an "overactive imagination". But when he catches his wife Laura and his psychiatrist in bed together, with predictably violent results, he realises that if he doesn't learn to distinguish reality and fantasy soon, he's going to lose everything - including his son Max.

So getting caught up in the strange world of Alix Callahan, forbidding lesbian ethnobotanist, and her partner, a sultry half-Colombian Indian called July, is probably the last thing he needs - even if Alix did mysteriously pay his bail. And Green Girls, their tropical florists's shop - complete with hallucinogenic herbs and a min-jungle full of deadly poison-arrow frogs - is the last place a man like Henry should go to get his head straightened out.

Especially when July's husband, a tribal shaman believed to have supernatural powers who is doing time for attempted murder, is about to get busted out of a Florida jail. And when he does, there's only one place he's headed . . .
