Irene's recipes for her signature scents are a well guarded secret--but it's not the only one behind these gates. This estate offers a unique freedom, where none of the residents or staff hide who they are. But to keep their secret, they've needed to keep others out. And now they're worried they're keeping a murderer in. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIrene's widow hires Evander Mills to uncover the truth behind her mysterious death.
