"Pretend You Don't See Her" is the story of Lacey Farrell,
a young rising star on Manhattan's high-powered and
competitive real estate scene. In the course of selling a
luxurious skyline co-op, Lacey becomes the witness to a
murder and hears the dying words of the victim, a woman
who is convinced that her attacker was after a journal
kept by her daughter up until the day she died in what
everyone but her grieving mother believes to have been a
tragic accident. Lacey gives the journal to the police,
but not before she makes a copy for herself - an impetuous
act that later proves to be almost fatal. Obliged to give
up her family, her job, her very identity, Lacey is placed
in the witness protection program and sent to live in the
Minneapolis-St. Paul area, where she must assume a new
life, at least until the killer can be brought to trial.
Once there, she meets and quickly finds herself attracted
to Tom Lynch, a young radio talk-show host. He likewise is
drawn to her - but Lacey becomes so upset and confused by
the life of lies she is forced to live that she tries to
break off their burgeoning relationship. How can she
commit to him when she can't even tell him her true name?
Then one day she discovers that the killer has traced her
to Minneapolis and will soon place not only her but
everyone around her in dire jeopardy. Realizing that she
is no longer safe, she decides to go back to New York,
determined to confront the threat to her life head on.
Armed with nothing more than her own courage and the
ambiguous and mystifying clues found in the journal, Lacey
is caught in a fast-paced race against time as she tries
to uncover who was behind the deaths of the two women
before she, too, is killed - not realizing that the
journal itself is the reason for the murders...
