Welcome to the third Casey Cavendish mystery

Home sweet home, or so ex-con Casey Cavendish thinks. After years of family turmoil, violence and romantic betrayals, she finds a safe place all her own in an antique railroad station in a leafy Boston suburb. Her new job maintaining the mansion and party house next door provides funds to refurbish a funky caboose that sits on a siding beside the station. She befriends the tenant's darling little boy and his mother and an unstable, but helpful Vietnam vet who had once squatted in the caboose.

It's all a godsend until a sketchy private investigator reveals the dark history of the caboose and demands to see the contents of an old safe inside the railcar.
When the veteran's life is threatened, and the tenant's wife asks for her help to escape from her abusive husband, Casey's big heart leads to decisions that land her squarely in the crosshairs of the law. Much as she'd love to be in the crosshairs of one particular policeman, she cannot afford to be railroaded for extortion and murder, crimes that would put her away for life.

Casey must rely on wits and grit and her love for a small boy to protect her livelihood, her home and her life.
