The Serenity Centre in Cambodia was full of secrets, of skeletons, bones in the closet, things unrevealed and undisclosed. You sensed it. There was an atmosphere.

The discovery of a dead body only added to the tension and triggered in Rita painful memories of events in New Zealand five years earlier. A woman had been found dead at Rita's workplace, and compromising material related to the death dumped in Rita's bag. Who put it there? Why?

Finding herself under suspicion, Rita is compelled to track down the answers.

In this engrossing novel, Patricia Donovan weaves together two crime stories to explore memory and the stickiness of emotional triggers, and how necessity drives us to find strengths we don't know we have.
