Name to a Face

Robert Goddard: Name to a Face (USA 2009)

From the Publisher:
He'd seen her somewhere once -- he was sure of that. But the young woman gave no hint of recognition and before this could be explained, everything fell apart.... Tim Harding has come to Cornwall at the behest of a friend to represent him in an auction and facilitate the purchase of a much-coveted antique ring. Hayley Winter has come there for reasons of her own... and a centuries-old mystery is about to come crashing down around them both.

A decade before, a woman matching Hayley's exact description died in a suspicious diving accident -- at the side of the man giving Harding his orders. Now the ring, said to have been cut off the finger of a drowned British naval commander in 1707, is at the center of a many-tendrilled puzzle. Uncanny resemblances... stunning contradictions... Then Hayley's sudden disappearance... For Harding, one misstep and a handful of coincidences ignite a search through dozens of lives, back into English history and the age of the Black Death, and forward to a fatal meeting in Germany... to find Hayley, her true identity, and the most shocking secret of all.

Name to a Face

Robert Goddard: Name to a Face (UK 2008)

From the Publisher:
A centuries old mystery is about to unravel...
When Tim Harding agrees to do a favour for a friend by bidding on his behalf for an antique ring at auction, little does he know of the secrets that tie the ring to three tragedies: the sinking of HMS Association off Scilly in 1707, a murder in Penzance thirty years later and the drowning of a journalist diving at the Association wreck site in 1999. In the event, the ring is stolen before it can be sold. And a shocking murder soon follows. Harding is drawn into a web of conspiracies surrounding the ring's origins and finds, close to the heart of the mystery, a young woman he is certain he recognizes, even though they have never met before. As he goes in search of her identity, his life begins to fall apart around him. Somewhere, a perilous truth awaits him, coupled with a terrible realization: those who uncover that truth are not allowed to live...
