The critically acclaimed author of Falling Off Air returns with her heart-pounding second novel, in which Robin Ballantyne tracks a kidnapper — and ends up on the trail of a killer.
Robin Ballantyne heads to Cambodia to film a documentary about landmines. That’s her cover story, but she really wants to interview Mike Darling, who happened to be on a retreat with her friend Donna right before Donna mysteriously disappeared. The trip turns disastrous after one of the men at Mike’s camp, whose parents share a home with Mike and his wife in England, steps on a landmine and loses his leg. Then the Darlings’ own son is kidnapped. Mike returns from Cambodia furious that the police are making no progress, and then someone is found stabbed to death in the home the Darlings share. Robin begins her own investigation into the murder and the kidnapping that preceded it — risking her own job, love, and life in the process.
