Synopsis

 

At dawn on a sweltering summer day, scrabbling sounds alerted Jeanne of the intruder downstairs. The pull chain rattled against the light bulb in the kitchen. Instantly a sliver of yellow light raced up the stairs and into her bedroom. Someone was moving about inside the house and had even been bold enough to turn on a light. It wasn’t the first time she’d awakened to the sounds of this intruder.
