A dowager is being scared to death in this classic whodunit by a #1 New York Times-bestselling master who "helped the mystery series grow up" (The New York Times). It's enough to stop Eliza Fairbanks's heart. At least that's what the elderly widow claims is being done to her. First, someone unleashes a cloud of bats in her locked bedroom. When that doesn't do the trick, next comes a pack of rats to claw at her toes. Special duty nurse Hilda Adams, aka "Miss Pinkerton" to the Homicide Bureau, believes Eliza's every rattled fear is true. She may be frail--but she's not batty. What Eliza is, is very, very rich. Out of the shady and oddball assortment of relatives swarming the mansion, someone clearly has an eye on the Fairbanks fortune. Now it's Hilda's job to keep an eye on Eliza before a potential killer resorts to more definitive means. And considering all the bad blood running through the heart of the Fairbanks family, it might already be too late to save her charge.
