In einer opulenten Villa an der Grenze des Imperiums wird ein hoher Offizier tot aufgefunden – getötet durch einen Baum, der spontan seinem Körper entwuchs.

Zur Aufklärung des Verbrechens wird Ana Dolabra hinzugezogen, eine Ermittlerin, deren brillanter Ruf nur durch ihre Exzentrik übertroffen wird.
