(from the publisher): Claire Malloy runs a bookstore in the normally
quiet college town of Farberville, Arkansas - an enterprise which
provides the verging-on-meager living for her and her deeply sarcastic
teenage daughter Caron. So when emergency work forces Claire and Caron
to abandon their apartment for a few weeks, they are in no financial
position to put themselves up in style and Claire is thrilled to accept
a customer's offer to let them stay at her well-stocked, well-equipped
palatial home while she is traveling.
Of course, nothing is ever that easy. No sooner do Claire and Caron
ensconce themselves than disquieting events start to occur - dubious
people show up looking for the 'traveling' owner of the house; the
owner herself turns out not to be who she claimed and is now seemingly
on the run; and a dead body keeps turning up - and subsequently
disappearing - around the grounds of the house. Determined, for once,
to stay out of the mysterious doings, Claire's hand is finally forced
when the disappearing body turns out to be only the first corpse to
turn up...
