After earning rave reviews with Falling Off Air, Catherine Sampson's second novel has British
documentary filmmaker Robin Ballantyne in Cambodia filming a documentary about land mines. But
her main goal is to get information about a friend of hers who disappeared mysteriously.

Working on documentaries for the Corporation, Robin's latest project is to research stories of people
who have disappeared. But when she asks questions about missing Corporation camerawoman Melanie
Trent, she gets the attention of one of her shadowy superiors, who attempts to warn her off. Why is the
Corporation so desperate to keep this case under wraps? A murder, a kidnapping, and an accident with
a landmine make Robin more determined than ever to find out the truth, risking her life in the process.
