When her friend and fellow apartment sitter, Ingrid disappears Jules learns of a disturbing pattern involving other apartment sitters. Although there are very strict rules linked to the job, Jules accepts and hopes for the best. In addition she will have the chance to stay in one of the most glamorous buildings in New York City, The Bartholomew.

In Lock Every Door Jules Larsen puts this expression to the test by accepting a job which requires much more than she is willing to give. There is an old saying “ If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.” I have learned over the years that this expression holds true most of the time.

Searching for the truth about Ingrid's disappearance, Jules digs deeper into the Bartholomew's dark past and into the secrets kept within its walls.
