No good deed goes unpunished. That s what Charlie Fox discovers when she agrees to dog-sit for a friend, only to find that the friend s housing complex is being terrorized by violent gangs. Desperate and frightened, the residents have hired a freelance security firm, whose bully-boy tactics aren t a whole lot more appealing. With her bike on hand and a big dog by her side, Charlie is more than able to take care of herself, until a ghost comes calling a ghost from some of Charlie s very bad old days. To save the locals of the Lavender Garden estate (and incidentally, her own skin), Charlie s going to have to learn to trust somebody. That s going to be a tough lesson to learn: Trust has never been her strong suit."
