About this ebook
A “superb, thrilling, and satisfying” (Vince Flynn) thriller that transports us to Cambodia in search for answers to mysteries left over from the Vietnam War.
Armed with only a camera and iron determination, thirty-two-year-old photojournalist Molly Drake arrives in Cambodia to cover the US Army-led search for the remains of an American pilot who went missing during the Vietnam War. In this eerie wasteland pockmarked with human bones and live landmines, the people hold more secrets than the landscape, from archaeologist Duncan O’Brian to John Kleat, a caustic vet hunting for his long-lost brother.
When Molly’s camera captures a flight helmet buried among Khmer Rouge victims, diplomatic powers force her and her civilian comrades off the dig, only to be met by a typhoon. Trapped, the group discover a more astonishing find, revealing a war that never died.
Molly’s survival comes to depend on her journalistic skills to solve a forgotten murder among these warriors left behind. In the end, her only hope for salvation is to redeem the lost souls that surround her.
