Publisher's Synopsis
Ten years have passed since David Mortimer last saw Anna Russell. Their love affair ended when she disappeared. Drifting through life ever since, David has never married and is devoted to scientific work - thinking about the book he's always meant to write about the botanist, Ernest Wilson, and his extraordinary exploits in China. But David's isolation is about to change. He receives news that Anna has been seriously injured in an accident. More devastating still is the revelation that he has a daughter, Rachel, whom he has never seen. Both now urgently need his help - and more than one danger is threatening them.
