Laying the Ghost

When Nell was a student, she and Patrick were a serious item. They were inseparable, and she really thought he was The One. But then Alex came along - the safer, more restful option - and thanks to her over-controlling mother, she opted for him instead. But now, Alex has left her to live in New York with a younger, blonder woman. Escaping to the Caribbean for a recuperative holiday, she is mugged at the airport and her bag is stolen. It's crisis time - and she makes two decisions: First - she will take lessons in self-defense. Second - she will try and find Patrick again. Is she trying to put the past behind her...or setting out to ruin her future?
