L'Automne is a continuing care community nestled amid the rolling hills and verdant woods surrounding Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. There is more going on here, however, than planned meals, staff-administered medications, and chair aerobics. Fraud, theft, and yes death, are stalking the halls of L'Automne. Anyone could be a target.
The mother of Emily Menotti's boyfriend resides there, and Emily and Bob are worried about her safety.
Residents, however, are not the only ones in danger. Meet Edward Weir, the ginger-haired Director; Shay Dinsmore, the Activities Coordinator; and Tess Tuesday, tied to her wheelchair with multiple sclerosis. Not everyone is what they seem.
Follow Emily and Bob as they try to unravel the secrets of L'Automne, and along the way meet Letty, the daughter of William Penn, and Mrs. Bowie's faithful dog, Mosely.
