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.

Unable 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.

Bob Gilbert is the author of Ghost Trees and The Green London Way. He has written a newspaper column on urban wildlife for the last twenty-five years, and is a contributor to TV and radio. Bob has also been a long-standing campaigner for inner city conservation and is patron of The Garden Classroom, a charity that promotes environmental education in London.
