When Lucy is retained by Greta Golden to find the identity of the ominous lurking stranger who Greta is certain is following her, it doesn't appear to be too challenging a mystery. Lucy has no trouble learning who her client's pursuer is. A British investigator has been engaged to probe into Greta's life, but the question of what he is trying to discover about Greta, and why, begins to truly complicate the case.
