Overview
Five thousand dollars on the third of every month. One rule: leave the porch light on, and never ask why.
Greer Ostrander serves papers for a living. When someone doesn't want to be found, she finds them, puts the truth in their hands, and swears to it afterward. She has one rule of her own: you serve the person, not the story.
Then her father disappears from the lake, the county wants $31,200 by January, and her elderly neighbor makes an offer that solves everything. All Greer has to do is relight the old brass lantern on her father's porch every night. No questions. No explanations. Ever.
She takes the money.
Two nights later a boat comes in at midnight. A stranger's footprints cross the dock. And a sergeant with a badge and a generous retainer hires Greer to find a woman who has vanished with her four-year-old daughter. Greer has never failed to find anyone. This time, finding her might be the worst thing she can do.
Some rules exist to protect you. Some exist to protect the person who made them.
THE PORCH LIGHT RULE is a standalone domestic psychological thriller of about 68,000 words, with a small-town lake setting, a heroine who never waits to be rescued, and a final answer you won't see coming. Perfect for readers of slow-burn, twisty suspense about families, secrets, and the people who keep them.
Read it with the lights on. Or don't.
