Dreaming of literary fame, Florence Darrow, by chance, gets a job as a personal assistant to a well-known and very popular writer who hides her identity under the pseudonym Maude Dixon. During a shared trip to Morocco, they end up in an accident: Florence wakes up in the hospital, and her traveling companion can’t be found—neither alive nor dead.
Realizing that no one else knows the writer’s real name and has ever seen her, Florence... becomes Maude Dixon. Unaware that by doing so, she puts herself in mortal danger.
