Mystery Woman Sleuth
Perfectly composed in a tailored skirt and jacket, Eleanor
Porter walks `Isle of Dogs. The newly appointed “night
lawyer” for the tabloid Chronicle, Eleanor has been hired
to protect her employer from lawsuits. It’s a job she can
do with her whole heart. After all, she knows what it’s
like to be vulnerable.
Three years ago, after the
violent death of her father and her abandonment by her
married lover, Eleanor fell apart. But with determination
and courage, and with the newfound discipline of karate,
she made her way back to the land of the living: She shed
pounds, reshaped her appearance, bought herself a modest
home, and kept the memories at bay. Now, with the new job,
she hopes to launch herself into happiness.
But one
by one, problems emerge: the wayward young neighbor
through whose walls Eleanor hears things she does not want
to hear; the unsettling reappearance of her former lover;
the security expert who catches her on camera in an
intimate moment and decides that he is going to keep
watching.
Even more disturbing, someone is stalking
her, following her on the nighttime streets of London.
Whoever it is has gone so far as to break into her house–
even to sleep in her bed. Eleanor knows that she is in
real trouble, but the danger is even worse than she can
imagine. And this time, the damage may be beyond all
repair.
