Publisher's Synopsis
Lena kills her husband in order to escape from his violence; then she vanishes, leaving behind her two damaged children. Robert's daughter disappeared ten years ago and he has been given an address where she might be living with her husband, but when Robert arrives, she has already departed. When the two missing lives coincide, Robert catches up with his grandchildren but must continue to search for his daughter. Despite his wife's reservations, he leaves to find her. Lena meets Lachlan and continues her journey with him, but their route requires crossing the Thau border illegally, risking a lifetime in the worst prisons in the world. What makes it worth the risk? Robert's first wife committed suicide; his second is threatening to leave him. His daughter ran away; why? What is his sinister secret?
