Painter Hilary Jackson lives a life of contentment, spiritually at peace and doing the work she loves-until the day she plays Good Samaritan to a dangerously handsome Englishman with no name, no identification and no memory beyond the hazy belief that he has killed Scotland Yard art expert, Sir Alexander Napier.

Was Napier a bad cop? Is "Alan" an art thief and murderer? Why are the people closest to Hilary suddenly acting suspiciously? Why is Scotland Yard Detective-Sergeant Hogsworth convinced Hilary is forging old masters? Too late, Hilary realizes that if "Alan" did not kill Napier, someone else did-someone only too willing to kill again.
