Chief Inspector Lloyd had seen millionaire Victor Holyoak before...or had he? That face, that scar - all so familiar, and yet so different now. Trying to place him brings back memories of Lloyd's earlier days on the police force, his foundering marriage, and the beginnings of his long-term romance with Inspector Judy Hill. Lloyd's musings become more than fanciful when Holyoak is found murdered, and Lloyd and Hill must track down his killer. Their long list of suspects includes his beautiful, terrified stepdaughter Catherine, her playboy husband Max, and an ambitious personal assistant with a shady past. But it's Lloyd's vague deja vu that forces him to make sense of an illusive memory - and to solve two mysteries: one then, one now. Jill McGown, to quote the Philadelphia Inquirer, really does "get better every time out" with her complex, ingenious mysteries.
