Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0786707194, Mass Market Paperback)

Meg Elginbrodde's wedding plans to millionaire Geoffrey Levett stop dead when she begins receiving snapshots of a man who could be her husband-if he hadn't been killed at war five years before. When Meg's old friend, the charming and erudite Albert Campion, takes on this case of perplexing identity, it takes him on a spine-chilling manhunt in London's sinister underworld.
