In the same dramatic and exciting style of her other Victorian mysteries, Wallace tells the story of 11-year-old Jenny, who arrives from China at her grandfather's Graymark House. No one recognizes her, so, taking the job of a maid, Jenny must figure out what is going on within the dark hallways. A 2001 Edgar Award nominee.

Barbara Brooks Wallace has written Victorian mysteries that include a parlor, a tavern, a castle, a scullery, and a gallery. But she claims never to have lived in a tavern or a castle, or owned a house with a parlor, a scullery, or a gallery. So far she has not lived in a tenement, either. She simply dwells in a nice little house in Alexandria, Virginia, with her very nice husband; affectionate Burmese cat, Cleo; and turtle, Peter. Her son, Jimmy, daughter-in-law, Christina, and Victoria and Elizabeth, their two daughters, live nearby.
