Running
for Shelter by Michelle
Spring (paperback)
When Laura Principal rings the bell at theatrical producer
Thomas Butler's London mansion, a young maid opens the door.
And suddenly, Laura is plunged into a mystery whose depths
she fears to plumb.
The maid asks Laura to help her find some missing money,
but overnight she disappears. Neighbors say she was abducted;
the Butlers insist no such person ever existed. But beneath
the vicious underpinnings of affluence--in clubs, country
houses, and charming mews--Laura uncovers the unbelievable
truth. Proving it, though, could be fatal.

Laura starts probing into the missing woman's life, she
finds that Katie concealed a dark side. The deeper Laura
searches into a tangled past, the more tension mounts in
every corner of Cambridge--where someone waits, coiled to
strike. And strike again.
