The Vagrant Duke

Peter could stay with his eastern-Europe country that's being smashed to pieces by the Bolsheviks, or he could cut his losses and build a new life from scratch. He escapes to America to do just that, and uses what valuables he can grab to finance his trip. He begins work on a large American estate as a regular laborer, a forester and groundskeeper. But when strange mishaps begin to take place at the estate, is someone after the owner or has Peter's past come calling?

I'll definitely be reading more of Gibbs's work.
