The Lorraine who walked away from William Dameron on Christmas Eve 1953 has become someone entirely different, leaving a trail of bad checks and aliases across the country under names like Jane Brown and Lorraine Bradley.The investigation takes Johnny from crowded New York streets to sunny Santa Barbara, where he meets hotel operator Harrington, the latest victim of Lorraine's con artistry.

The question is no longer just where Lorraine Broderick has gone, but what she's become.
