Past Matters — Rebecca A. Engel

If Helen Wiels can't live up to her name, her new job may prove deadly!

The common mispronunciation of Helen's last name makes it sound like she's 'Hell-on Wheels.' The newly minted librarian is anything but that! Yet when she's unfairly fired with no legal recourse, she manages to coerce her way into a new job, cataloging a collection at a private estate. Arriving at the secluded manor, Helen learns that a hundred years earlier, the great-grandmother of her new employer, business mogul Jackson Wagner, disappeared without a trace. More recently, Jackson's fiancée also disappeared, and no one, including him, seems very concerned. After boys with a metal detector uncover a woman's body in the nearby woods, and Helen discovers that young women have been disappearing from the area for at least ten years, she begins to wonder just how safe she really is in the otherwise tranquil setting.

If Helen can't figure out what's behind the disappearances and learn to emulate her alter-ego 'Hell-on Wheels,' she may just be the next one to go missing!
