What has happened to Ingrid? Beautiful Ingrid, who leaves Australia, and her friends, and Ralph who loves her, to marry Gil Grey and set up home amid the New York art world. There she becomes the stepmother to Gils teenage artist daughter Fleur, a former child prodigy, and studies ancient art effects known as curse scrolls at Colombia University. But at 9am on the morning of September 11, 2001, she has an appointment Downtown. And is never seen again. Or is she?
