Adelaide is haunted by a permanent and soul-destroying fear - her employer Mrs Holland. If Adelaide makes a mistake or tries to run away then Mrs Holland swears she'll throw her body in the yard. It's no idle promise either - Adelaide has seen the bones of the last maid and she's desperate not to meet the same fate.
Adelaide can't help but be drawn into the mystery surrounding the Ruby of Agrapur. And even though she finds some firm friends in the shape of Jim, Sally, and Frederick, it's all but inevitable that Mrs Holland will discover Adelaide is working against her...
