Corie Foster, a travel writer, and Professor Michael Herrington meet in Italy. At first they joke about how many people in the small town where they're staying react to Corie as if they've seen her before. They learn that she bears a striking resemblance to the late wife of a local wealthy politician. It soon becomes apparent that someone doesn't consider that resemblance so amusing. Two young women are murdered. Michael and Corie are convinced that Corie was the real target, but the police are reluctant to admit that possibility. Can Michael and Corie find the killer before he gets to Corie? And is Corie's resemblance to the senator's wife just coincidental?
