description: A dowager is being scared to death in this classic whodunit by a #1 New York Timesbestselling master who helped the mystery series grow up (The New York Times). Its enough to stop Eliza Fairbankss heart. At least thats what the elderly widow claims is being done to her. First someone unleashes a cloud of bats in her locked bedroom. When that doesnt 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 Elizas every rattled fear is true. She may be frailbut shes 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 its Hildas 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.
