"After ten years of cleaning up Atlanta's streets, former cop Callahan Garrity trades in her badge for a broom and buys herself a housekeeping business. She's on the job when her clients discover that their pretty nineteen-year-old Mormon nanny has disappeared...along with jewelry, silver, and a few rather sensitive real estate documents. ...it's going to require some industrial-strength sleuthing on Callahan's part if she wants to solve--and survive--this one."--Back cover.
With the news of her cousin's murder, Callahan Garrity shakes off her House Mouse cleaning uniform to don her detective's cap. It's not that she doesn't have faith in the Atlanta police; she used to be one of them. It's just that the crime seems too incongruous with Patti's suburban life to be an accident.
