Call her a petite princess or a paranoid neurotic, either way, Ana
Devlin has the instincts of a chameleon. She can disappear into the
woodwork, share tea with a queen, or flatten a thug with one swift kick,
but what she really wants is to provide her dysfunctional younger
siblings with the security of the home she's been denied. When her
sister's VIP father is accused of murdering his aide, she decides it's
time to go home.
Instead of finding security, she discovers her grandfather has died
without the family being notified, his mansion has been usurped by a
stranger who never leaves the third floor, and her grandfather's
executor has absconded to the Caribbean with the proceeds of their
inheritance. If murder hasn't already been committed, she might
perpetrate one herself--starting with the annoying spider in the attic.
To avoid murder, she makes a pact with the devil who apparently now owns
the home she is determined to win back. While she searches for the
absconding lawyer and the real murderer of the senator's aide, she will
help their landlord locate a mysterious Cambodian--until oddly, the
threads of all three mysteries begin to twine together, and someone is
intent on cutting the cord before Ana comes too close to finding the
answers.
