Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
On a foggy summer night, crime scene photographer Sarah Bain is called to the bank of the river Thames to photograph a murder victim, an unidentified woman whose face has been slashed. As Sarah takes photographs, she discovers that the woman is still alive. The case becomes a public sensation, and three parties quickly come forward to identify her. When the woman wakes and recognises one of the people, Sarah is delighted to reunite a family - until one of the claimants is murdered. Now Sarah is on the wrong side of the law and must find the killer before she finds herself headed for the gallows.
"Investigating a brutal murder attempt on a woman in 1890 London, crime-scene photographer Sarah Bain and her friends are baffled when three different families claim the victim, who awakens without a memory of her identity." --Publisher
