Chen and Lan Mei had fled to Japan from China where their whistle-blowing had put their lives at risk. The three children followed and they were all settling into their new life. But when their daughter Shui went on holiday with a family to Mt Fuji, she never returned-they had all disappeared. When Shui's necklace was found on the ferry sailing between Japan and China, a deep fear struck. Had she been kidnapped for the reward on Chen and Lan Mei's heads? Was she back in the home from which they had rescued her? As Chen set out to find Shui, a murder, a sea tragedy and an affair were just some of the extremes he was prepared to go to. Heartache was imminent and lives would change as the truth finally began to emerge.
