The Cleaner cover

It's not dust she's looking for.
It's dirt.


Esmie is meant to be invisible. Just a cleaner with a foreign accent that no one quite has time to place, and a uniform of leggings and a duster that allows her to explore the homes of the wealthy Woodlands gated community, unnoticed.

Which is exactly what she wants. Because Esmie isn’t really a cleaner.

One of the residents of Woodlands has ruined her life. And when she finds out who, she’s going to make them pay . . .
