He’d seen her somewhere once—he was sure of that. But the
young woman gave no hint of recognition and before this
could be explained, everything fell apart. . . . Tim
Harding has come to Cornwall at the behest of a friend to
represent him in an auction and facilitate the purchase of
a much-coveted antique ring. Hayley Winter has come there
for reasons of her own . . . and a centuries-old mystery
is about to come crashing down around them both.
A
decade before, a woman matching Hayley’s exact description
died in a suspicious diving accident—at the side of the
man giving Harding his orders. Now the ring, said to have
been cut off the finger of a drowned British naval
commander in 1707, is at the center of a many-tendrilled
puzzle. Uncanny resemblances . . . stunning
contradictions . . . Then Hayley’s sudden
disappearance . . . For Harding, one misstep and a handful
of coincidences ignite a search through dozens of lives,
back into English history and the age of the Black Death,
and forward to a fatal meeting in Germany . . . to find
Hayley, her true identity, and the most shocking secret of
all.
