Coffeehouse mysteries, 18

"Memories and murder collide when coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi awakens on a bench in Washington Square Park and has no idea she has been missing for days, or that her friends and family have been frantic with worry...Now that Clare is back, everyone is overjoyed, including a handsome NYPD detective who claims to be her fiancé. But to Mike Quinn's crushing distress, Clare does not remember him, or much of anything about the last fifteen years of her life. Clare's missing memory is tied to a crime she witnessed. She had been invited to a posh hotel by its owner to sample gourmet wedding cakes. After their indulgent tasting, a security camera captured a masked figure with a gun confronting the hotel heiress with Claire looking on. Did the kidnapper take Clare, too? The camera went dark, just like Claire's memory. Soon authorities grow suspicious. Is Clare really a victim? Or merely acting like one? Evidence is mounting that she set the woman up. To clear her name, Clare must find a way to reclaim her memories and rescue the heiress before this high-stakes crime ends in tragedy. Otherwise, instead of walking down the aisle, Clare may find herself perp-walking to prison as an accomplice to kidnapping and murder." --page [4] of cover
