The notorious Mrs. Wright - and the resourceful Mr. Lewis

Private investigator Whit Lewis is pursuing a case that has taken him to St. Augustine, Florida. His assignment: track down a woman named Susan Wright. A woman whose real name, he believes, is Emma Webster.

Emma's family hired him to find her. She ran away as a teenager more than twenty years ago, leaving behind a trail of confusion and deception, of false identities and unanswered questions. Now "Susan Wright" lives in St. Augustine with her son, Tom; she owns a successful restaurant called - fittingly enough - Illusions.

Whether she's Susan or Emma or both, it's part of Whit's job to get to know her; it's not part of his job to fall in love.
