"Diane looked at her notes and tried to let Albert's brightening spirits lift her own. She tried. A darkness sat heavily upon them, however, and the more Diane considered the possibilities, the more leaden her spirits became. There was a wicked person on the loose and, if the anger shown in the house was any indicator, the Carstairs may be in serious danger. And as the protectors of Monique, she and Albert may have brought that evil straight to their own door."
Diane gets a surprise visit one day from a young woman called Monique. Monique's husband Jonathan has gone missing and so she wants Diane to help find out what happened. Monique suspects foul play - especially as their luxury house has been vandalized and the word "Traitor" daubed in red paint on the window.
It isn't long before Diane finds out that Johnathan had made several enemies as a result of his job as an accountant. Did anyone hate Johnathan enough though to commit murder? That is what Diane must find out because if somebody killed Johnathan, they would certainly have no hesitation in killing again in order to cover it up.
