Book description
Something else had happened . . . Something so terrible that she was
too frightened to search her memory for it . . .
The newspapers reported the case with relish. Jane (Jinx) Kingsley,
fashion photographer and heiress, tries to kill herself after being
unceremoniously jilted by her fiancé, who has since disappeared -
together with Jinx's best friend Meg Harris . . .
But when Jinx wakes from her coma, she can remember nothing about her
alleged suicide attempt. With the help of Dr Alan Protheroe of the
Nightingale Clinic, she slowly begins to piece together the fragments of
the last few weeks. Then the memories begin to surface . . . memories of
utter desperation and absolute terror.
