Her investigations and a media leak in London take her to New Zealand and to a small band of soldiers who had been seconded to Bosnia ten years earlier.
Through flashbacks we begin to learn what happened and who is concealing a devastating secret – a secret that may very well be taken to the grave.
.
Key to this secret is Lucas Crichton, a tough no-nonsense NCO in the New
Zealand Army. As the net closes, Lucas is forced to track down the disparate
band of men who served under him. Now scattered throughout New Zealand,
their only common bond is a shared experience of horror in Bosnia.
When Lucas reappears in the lives of his former squaddies, he comes like
a spectre from a past most of them seem desperate to forget.
Because now they’re successful businessmen, restaurateurs, policemen,
criminals and social misfits – burying themselves in the present
to avoid the threats of the past.
His quest takes him through the restaurants and up-market addresses of
Auckland, down into the nightclubs of Wellington, and into the dense bush
of the South Island’s West Coast, and beyond. Into the mountains
around Queenstown, and on down into Dunedin, where the unravelling threads
of this shared past finally begin to make sense.

And as the climax of this story is played out in the
vast back country of Central Otago, Lucas the hunter becomes the hunted;
Sophie discovers what really happened in Bosnia.
And while Lucas finds that betrayal and redemption live in close proximity,
Sophie finds that knowing the truth means sharing the secret.
And both learn that love can be found in the most surprising places.
