For the women in London, the “chance of a lifetime” may prove to be their last.

Hidden among the romantic rendezvous and secret messages in The Times of London’s Personal Column, a peculiar ad offers one young woman the opportunity of escape: travel, adventure, and a new life—no questions asked, all expenses paid. It seems too good to be true.
