John Putnam Thatcher's out in the field - to harvest a crop of patent thievery, corporate scandal, and multimillion-dollar death! All because a newly deveolped tomato promises a six-month yield - guaranteed to revolutionize agribusiness with juicy new profits. Until the patent rights, claimed by Sloan Guaranty Trust's respected client, are challenged in court by an upstart seed company. After one murder and a second attempt, Thatcher's got only one choice - to find the killer, insure the patent, and nip this case in the bud!
