Trying to escape her own troubled past and the memories of her lover’s murder, Maureen O’Donnell finds refuge working as a counselor at a shelter for battered women. When the body of shelter resident Ann Harris washes up on the banks of the Thames two weeks later, Maureen vows to discover what happened and to prove that Ann’s husband is not to blame. Taking her search to London, Maureen soon encounters disturbing truths about Ann’s hidden past – including a secret that has Maureen fighting for her life.
