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 land mine make Robin more determined than ever to find out the truth, risking her life in the process.

Catherine Sampson started her career in the BBC and has worked as Beijing correspondent for the Times (London). She now lives in Beijing with her husband and three children and is currently working on her next Robin Ballantyne novel.
