Memory Loss, Loveless
Marriages, Contraband and Murder…This Story is Sure to Keep You
on the Edge of Your Seat Wanting More
The old adage “when
it rains, it pours” rings true in Francesca. Things go from bad
to worse for a woman who just can’t seem to dig out of the muck
of life.
Nothing seems to be
working out in Francesca’s life: She’s locked in a loveless
marriage with a merchant banker, and her only relative, her
brother, is injured severely and loses his memory when his
aircraft crashes. On her way from the hospital after visiting
him, she too is involved in an accident. The only good thing
that comes of this unfortunate event is meeting Philip Lester, a
Good Samaritan who rescues her. But just as things start looking
up, the police find contraband diamonds in the brother’s
aircraft. Thus begins a trail involving both the police and the
underworld that spreads to the continent and ends in murder at
an elegant manor house in the quiet Thames Valley.
