Mary Panton is a young widow; her alcoholic, violent husband was killed in a car accident, and now she lives in a friend’s villa. Her life is quiet, but she is content – until things are thrown off kilter by the appearance of Karl Richter, an Austrian art student fleeing the Nazis. At first Mary and Karl are drawn together by their shared sense of loss, but Karl’s scars run much deeper than Mary realizes, and she finds herself caught in a web of deceit and death.
