Publisher's Synopsis
"This tense, invlolving and disturbing read...kept me up half the night, unable to put it down." MAIL ON SUNDAY One February afternoon, Stella sees a man walking towards her on a London pavement. She hasn't seen his face for many years, but she instantly recognises him. Or thinks she does. At exactly the same moment, on the other side of the world, Jake is realising that the crowd around him, celebrating Chinese New Year, is about to turn dangerous. They know nothing of one another's existence, but both Stella and Jake flee their lives: Jake in search of a place so remote it doesn't appear on any map, and Stella for a destination in Scotland, the significance of which only her sister, Nina, will understand.
