About This Book
A promising young house surgeon is recommended by a distinguished physician to become the live-in assistant to an elderly researcher who, after a recent burglary, fears for his safety. The role combines laboratory duties with an unusual demand for physical protection, and the newcomer takes up residence at the secluded Red Lodge to support the professor's important investigations. Domestic routines among a small household give way to mounting unease as secrecy, past intrusions, and the clash between scientific pursuit and personal vulnerability provoke a steady uncovering of mystery and danger.
