Angkor, Cambodia: Home of the world-renown temples made famous in the Tomb Raider movie. Also home to a people still recovering from the slaughter of the Khmer Rouge regime. Today tourists flock to the area to photograph the ancient ruins and to tick visiting the temples off their bucket list. In the aftermath of the misadventure in India that almost cost her sister and niece their lives, Phoebe Clay travels alone to Cambodia. During the ferry ride to Angkor she meets a girl and her 'uncle,' but Phoebe suspects the girl's uncle has sold her into the sex trade.They disappear before Phoebe can do anything about it. Later that night, the uncle turns up dead in a local market with the girl's barrette by his side. Did the girl kill him? Phoebe should leave the investigation to local authorities, but the girl is about the same age as her niece, and she can't sit idly by. Warned by everyone she meets to steer clear of the investigation, Phoebe keeps asking questions until her enquiries take her deep into an insidious plot to steal the Cambodian people's priceless heritage. A plot that, to succeed, will cost the girl and Phoebe their lives. The third instalment of the Phoebe Clay Mysteries takes readers through the lush Cambodian countryside on a dangerous investigation with a gutsy heroine.
