1899, Glasgow. A man is stabbed to death in a tenement courtyard, and
Juan Camarón, photographer-cum-sleuth, is enlisted to assist the police
investigation. Perhaps his innovative photographic method can bring to
light what the eye may have overlooked.
Yet Juan has problems of his own. His late father's legacy, a monumental
photographic record of the architecture of colonial Cuba, is threatened
by a charge of plagiarism from a mysterious señora. Meanwhile, Juan's
hoped-for happiness with his fiancée, Jane, might be over before it's
even begun, and even more so when a visiting professor is murdered and
Jane is witnessed fleeing the scene. Juan is torn between finding the
killer and finding Jane, but are they one and the same? The truth may be
hidden in the photographs.
