A graphic designer discovers the payment for her recent job comes with a dark secret in this romantic suspense novel by a New York Times bestseller.
Fun and a little hard work. That’s all Tess Haviland has in mind when Ike Grantham pays her for her graphic design work with the run-down nineteenth-century carriage house on Boston’s North Shore.
Then Ike disappears, and Tess finds herself with much more than a simple weekend project to get her out of the city. It’s not just the rumors that the carriage house is haunted—it’s the neighbors: six-year-old Dolly Thorne, her reclusive babysitter, Harley Beckett . . . and especially Dolly’s father, Andrew Thorne, who has his own ideas about why Tess has turned up next door.
But when Tess discovers a human skeleton in her dirt cellar, she begins to ask questions about the history of the carriage house, the untimely death of Andrew’s wife . . . and Ike’s disappearance. Questions a desperate killer wants to silence before the truth reveals that someone got away with murder . . .
Originally published in 2001.
