Publisher's Synopsis
"This powerful saga that stretches continents and spans generations is all the more impressive by the voice of veracity that overlays the pages." - BELFAST TELEGRAPH When a plane carrying American journalist Aidan Shaw goes down in Kashmir in 1949, his wife Joanna refuses to accept that he is dead. Then she learns that a mysterious female reporter has vanished from the same area where Aidan was last seen. Joanna enlists the help of Aidan's best friend, Lawrence Malcolm, a member of Australia's secret service. In search of answers, they set off, bringing along as translator Kamla, one of the girls from the rescue home Joanna runs in New Delhi. The ensuing journey, leading to the northernmost reaches of India and over the treacherous Karakoram mountain passes, is by turns harrowing and heartbreaking.
