Starts off rough and right to the point. Child molestation at an orphanage is the back drop to the story/mystery of this novel. No specifics but the idea is planted. Elsie Timmons left at the orphanage at age 14 witnesses terrible things and after setting the place on fire, flees with another young girl. She spends the next 10 years running and hiding and finally returns to the orphanage where accidents keep happening to her. Obviously someone is trying to kill her to shut her up.
Private investigator Deke Falcon is hired by Elsie's mother to find her. I really like Deke and think that he is the right person to help Elsie out of this trouble and put her life back on track. There is a whole lot going on and this book probably could have been a little longer to really flesh out the story and the danger. I felt sorry for Elsie right from the first chapter and really hoped she'd stick it to the bastards who were involved in the coverup.

As a child, Elsie Timmons had barely escaped Wildcat Manor with her life. As an adult, she'd mysteriously inherited the crumbling structure, ghosts and all. Now, after a lifetime spent running from her past, Elsie was ready to confront her demons and expose the orphanage's long-buried secrets.....until Deke Falcon threw a wrench in her plans. The enigmatic P.I. was hired to reunite her with the mother she'd never known, but before she could return with Deke to Falcon Ridge, evil forces threatened the future Elsie only recently considered. Luckily, she had Deke on her side--for protection, for comfort,...forever?
