Caught in the Light
3 journalers for this copy...
When photographer Ian Jarrett, on assignment in snowy Vienna, meets and falls in love with a mysterious woman named Marian Esguard, the sex is terrific and their future back in England looks happy. Jarrett walks out on his wife and 15-year-old daughter and goes off to await his new lover. But she doesn't show up, and Jarrett decides to track her down. In the process he unearths an out-of-this-world mystery: Marian may well be a ghost from the past (and a ghost with a grudge). That would certainly explain why none of the pictures of Marian come out. During the 19th century, a woman of the same name claimed to have discovered the techniques of modern photography, but she never received the credit for it. (Amazon.com).

received today, thanks katfysh :o)
another enjoyable mystery from Mr Goddard - I was going to recommend this one to my wife as her first taste of his work, but I don't think she'd appreciate the ending.
