Lesley Pearse strana 4 z 4

Sussexben egy gyönyörű, félholt nőt sodor a partra a víz. Régimódi ruhát visel, a haját valaki csúnyán rövidre nyírta. Csuklóján és karján kötél horzsolta nyomok. Kórházba szállítják, ahol kiderül, amnéziában szenved. Gyötrő kérdések sorát kellene megválaszolnia, de azt sem tudja felidézni, kicsoda és honnan jött, sem azt, hogy mi történt vele az utóbbi két évben, amely teljesen kiesett az emlékezetéből. Miféle sokkhatás érhette? A rendőrség tehetetlenül áll a kérdés előtt, sehol egy nyom, és amikor az orvosi vizsgálat fényt derít arra, hogy a lány nemrég gyermeknek adott életet, az eset hamarosan rémálommá válik. Ki ez a lány? És hol lehet a csecsemő? Lesley Pearse bestsellereiből (Utazók, Emlékek, Titkok, Hit, Remény) több mint hárommillió példányt adtak el világszerte. Pearse, akinek élettörténete maga is kész regény, bravúros mesélő, történeteiben a legnemesebb és leggyűlöletesebb emberi érzelmek csapnak össze, az írónő páratlan érzékkel-érzékletességgel mutatja meg, milyenek is vagyunk valójában; veszélyben, magányban, bűnben és szerelemben.
