Trap Door

When Jacobia "Jake" Tiptree left behind her career on Wall Street for the charming town of Eastport, Maine, she expected a quiet life spent fixing up her 1823 Federal- style house. But there are skeletons in her closet that may prove beyond repair....

Jake has a new project in the works: building a dock at her lakeside cottage. She and her friend Ellie are on their way to start the job when they run into one of Jake's old New York City pals. There's a hit man after wiseguy Jemmy-- and he just happens to live in Eastport.

Jake's cottage is the perfect hideout while Jemmy plans his next move. But when Jake and Ellie find a body hanging in the hit man's barn, they know there's more to the story than anyone's telling. Now Jake is determined to expose the truth--before she's caught in a trap she can't escape!
