What to expect
One day, she will remember the acute feeling of time standing still as they drove into the sun, further and further away from all she has ever known. She glances again at his profile. As they head into the mountains, on Route 1148.
Why, Vic? Why me?
After visiting a remote beauty spot in Thailand, newly married British couple, Vic and Louise Landry, fail to return to their hotel. With no bodies found, however, and after several weeks of intense press coverage, the frenzy of speculation quickly fades: the couple had surely been robbed and left for dead somewhere in the vast steamy, mountainous jungle.
Meanwhile, back in England, having just returned from holiday, freelance writer Ingrid Houseman, has been commissioned to look into the story. But the more she does, the more she's convinced it was no chance attack. And as soon as she begins to question those who knew the couple, it's clear they don't think so, either. Not only that, but Vic's friend is being followed, and now Ingrid is, too. But despite the danger, powerful intuition spurs her on to investigate further, a decision which will ultimately decide not only her own fate, but also Louise's.
