Flight to yesterday

Description

Musically talented, but not the prodigy her doting mother believes her to be, twenty-year-old Sara Hargeaves is content to pick up extra money playing cocktail piano at a local San Jimenez hotel lounge--and even happier when she attracts the attention of handsome Dr. Manuelo Covarrubias. When attraction quickens into passion, Sara goes to play for Manuelo's plastic surgery patients at his fashionable California sanatorium. Cherished, looking forward to marrying her sophisticated lover, Sara is stunned when her world falls apart overnight. Manuelo jilts her--and then he is murdered. Dubbed by journalists a "young Jean Harris," Sara is wrongfully jailed for Manuelo's murder. Now, four years later, she escapes from prison to be with her dying mother--only to arrive too late. Befriended by an attractive young law student, Mike Rolfe, Sara must risk her new chance at love and happiness by returning to the sanatorium. Hunted by the police, hounded by memories of the past and present regrets, Sara knows her only hope of lasting freedom lies in uncovering the truth about who really killed Manuelo four years ago, while avoiding an all-too likely reunion with her dead ex-lover.
