Synopsis:

In this harrowing thriller from award-winning British crime writer Minette Walters, Reuters correspondent Connie Burns gets on the wrong side of a mercenary who is contracted to protect an important Lebanese personage. After voicing her suspicions that crimes attributed to Sierra Leone teenagers were actually committed by security enforcer John Harwood, she receives several not-so-veiled threats. Later, when she runs into Harwood on another job in Iraq, the consequences turn out to be devastating: Connie is captured and forced to endure three days of agonizing, degrading torture that leaves no physical marks on her body. As she tries unsuccessfully to rebuild her sense of self, she begins to investigate the past of her unfriendly neighbor, and finds in the woman's story parallels to her own life that may point the way to redemption.
