Reginald Mason je kultivovaný mladý muž, rodený džentlmen. Netrápi ho, že ich rodina nemá šľachtický pôvod – na rozdiel od jeho otca, ktorý ťažko nesie, že príslušníci smotánky naňho napriek jeho obrovskému bohatstvu pozerajú zvrchu. Lady Annabelle Ashtonová je krásna dcéra grófa Havercrofta, suseda a nepriateľa Masonovcov. Keď spôsobí škandál, ktorý jej nenapraviteľne zničí povesť, gróf je ochotný súhlasiť, aby sa vydala pod úroveň, navyše za syna jeho úhlavného nepriateľa. Reginald sa však netúži oženiť, príliš si zvykol na život slobodného mládenca. A tak mu otec dá ultimátum: buď sa ožení s Annabelle, alebo ho prestane finančne podporovať. Nádejná nevesta a ženích sa voči sebe správajú nepriateľsky, navzájom sa obviňujú z nepríjemnej situácie, v ktorej sa ocitli, no všetko nasvedčuje tomu, že sobášu z rozumu už nič nezabráni. Ibaže v tomto čarovnom ľúbostnom príbehu plnom tajomstiev nie je ani zďaleka všetko tak, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá...

Left for dead in a dumpster, private investigator Benny Cooperman becomes his own client in his most puzzling mystery yet. Benny is recovering in a Toronto hospital from a serious blow to the head. He has a condition called alexia sine agraphia; in layman's terms, it means he can still write but cannot read. And his memory has been affected too: Although he can quote lines from his high-school production of Twelfth Night, he finds himself brushing his teeth with his shaving cream. Even his girlfriend's name—Anna Abraham—continues to elude him. When Benny learns that he was found unconscious beside a dead woman, he figures he must have been close to solving a case. With Anna working as field agent and two Toronto cops reluctantly sharing their discoveries, Benny pieces together the events that led to a murder—and his own injuries.
