When private detective Lucy Trimble is retained by Greta Golden to find the identity of the ominous lurking stranger who Greta is certain is following her, it doesn't appear to be too challenging a mystery. Lucy has no trouble learning who her client's pursuer is: a British investigator has been engaged to probe into Greta's life. But the question of what he is trying to discover about Greta, and why, begins to truly complicate the case. This revelation soon opens up further questions about Greta's own identity and, more specifically, the identities of her mother and father. Lucy's investigation leads her to Cornwall, England, where there still live witnesses to Greta's birth and her father's death. Lucy slowly begins to put the fragments of the puzzle together, but it is only when Greta joins Lucy in England that she is able to find the missing piece, and begins to confront her own rapidly evolving and more complicated personal life.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

We are thrilled that you have considered buying from us. The book that we sell you will be complete, and exactly what you would anticipate from its price.

**As we have recently greatly increased our offerings on Abe, you will find some incomplete cards. Please use the price as the clearest indicator of the quality and state of the book. **

We are as much at the mercies of global pandemic, climate crises, and other supply chain issues, so please do be patient with us.

Shipping Terms

Our rates are based on the cost of the shipping, predominantly through the Canadian Postal Service. The estimate is based on the book you order being part of the majority of our stock, which are standard commercial hardcovers. In the case that a book weighs less than the estimated amount, we will reduce the price of shipping once we have an accurate amount. Conversely, should a book cost more, you may hear from us about an increase in shipping cost. This is rare, but mostly has to do with oversized books. If you ever have any questions, do please contact us.

The book you receive will arrive in re-used packaging from publishers, and will not include insurance. If you wish to add insurance please contact us.
