Publisher's Synopsis
A riveting supernatural thriller about a family turned upside down after the death of their father and a visit from a strange nurse. The father, Lord Wolcott, is a wealthy entrepreneur who built an empire from nothing. His empire was the love of his life and his key to immortalizing his name. Upon his death, his family realized that as far their father was concerned, they were nonexistent. The nurse, Red, arrived at the Wolcott estate to treat Edward, a friend of the Wolcott family who injured his knee while horseback riding. Soon after her arrival, Red began to ask strange questions. What is more strange is that Red was not alone. She was accompanied to the Wolcott estate by a companion that Red has neither seen nor heard, but Red could almost swear that it was omnipresent. Red had no idea what she was seeking at the Wolcott estate or if she would recognize it if she found it. A few seemingly uneventful weeks went by. Red, the guests, and the residents of the Wolcott estate gathered to celebrate on the day of the late Lord's remembrance ceremony when the clock unceremoniously ticked to mad hour. It soon became clear that the body count was growing and the day had arrived when Red and the Wolcott family must redefine, reconstitute, and seize all that they could before it was too late. The Tool is a riveting story, masterfully crafted to make you question the concepts of good, evil, natural, and crazy.
