The Ophelia Trap

Julia and her family may have escaped the rent trap... but curiosity has drawn a predator home. When Julia Henry's former neighbour plunges eight stories to her death in the snow, she's convinced her previous landlords harassed the woman to suicide. But when she investigates, another dead girl turns up. The half-empty building is hemorrhaging tenants, the girl's boyfriend comes complete with a wife and daughter, and the best friend overdosed days after giving police their only description of a serial rapist. Now it seems someone wants Julia buried under the heaviest blizzard in thirty years. But when one of her daughters narrowly escapes a brutal rape steps from home, two nightmares converge and Julia goes from shaken to livid. The only way she can protect her girls and still live to see the snow melt is to expose the wrenching truth behind the rapes, the deaths, and the strangest absentee landlord ever.
