When Isabel’s niece, Cat, asks Isabel to run her
delicatessen while she attends a wedding in Italy, Isabel
meets a man with a most interesting problem. He recently
had a heart transplant and is suddenly plagued with
memories of events that never happened to him. The
situation appeals to Isabel as a philosophical question: Is
the heart truly the seat of the soul? And it piques her
insatiable curiosity: Could the memories be connected with
the donor’s demise? Of course, Grace—Isabel’s no-nonsense
housekeeper—and Isabel’s friend Jamie think it is none of
Isabel’s business. Meanwhile, Cat brings home an Italian
lothario, who, in accordance with all that Isabel knows
about Italian lotharios, shouldn’t be trusted . . . but,
goodness, he is charming.
That makes two mysteries of the heart to be solved—just the
thing for Isabel Dalhousie.
