Josephine Fuller's past catches up with her in At Large:
"Of all the women's job skill centers in all the towns in all the Pacific Northwest, he walks into mine. It had been a rocky week already, and it wasn't Friday yet. It didn't help that no one was buying my best impersonation of a mild-mannered receptionist. Something about this place wasn't quite right. I needed to find out what it was for Mrs. Madrone, so that my wealthy employer could decide whether to award the place a grant. Maybe I had asked too many questions."
At Large, the third book in the series, finds Jo dealing with an on-again off-again romance and encountering two men from her past. Then she finds the dead body of the woman who broke up her marriage, a woman Jo herself wouldn't have minded seeing vanish.
While trying to solve the mystery behind this death Jo has to deal with a haunted apartment, a love denied, and suspicious doings among mountain climbers, social climbers, and horror film buffs. When she herself becomes a suspect, Jo must find the killer while she is still At Large.
