“I went into a dark room with my camera for a time and I came out with a photograph of a woman I had never seen before.”

Alex Petersen was studying law at Oxford when he met Rachel, an English major. Their paths don’t cross again until their degrees have turned into careers. Rekindling his love for her, Alex marries Rachel soon afterwards. On a trip back to the same Oxford college Rachel is murdered. Alex has lost her again, but did he really know her?

What can Alex define from Rachel’s old ID cards, library fines, love letters, speeding tickets, blackmail notes…How could he miss what was going on right under his nose? And Alex has his own secrets too.
