The
job comes with a farmhouse in which to live, but it looks like the last
caretaker left in such a hurry that many personal items abandoned. Katie and
house cleaners pack up Grace’s things in hopes she returns for them.
When
a scared and battered woman arrives at the caretaker’s farmhouse in the middle
of the night, Katie is surprised the woman is expecting a safe place to hide.
As Katie follows the clues, she becomes aware that Grace had been part of an
underground network to move abused women to safe places.
Shall
Katie fill Grace’s shoes in this endeavor? What has happened to Grace as calls
to Grace’s sister go unanswered or returned? Why is the groundskeeper Jude, a
police academy dropout, always finding reasons to be at the caretaker’s place?
Who can be trusted: the hikers, the dog walkers, the nature photographers?
Katie will have to dig deep to solve these mysteries. There is more to the job
than meets the eye as Katie searches to find out about the last caretaker.
