To the Victorians, the musk plant was prized for its intoxicating perfume. Yet in 1913 all the musk plants in the world suddenly stopped smelling. \n\nUnable to resist the lure of the mystery, Bob Gilbert turns detective. From the London Underground to Scotland’s Pentland Hills, from uncovering a possible murder to confronting the unsettling silence of the yew tree, The Missing Musk mixes history, nature writing and science to uncover the truth behind six of nature’s great enigmas.
