Publisher's Synopsis
Journalist Orin Perth disappears somewhere in East Africa after delivering a powerful article on Christine Lokeka, whose son Paul has been snatched by the militia that raided her village. Orin's mother, a retired reporter, is determined to find her son. Heedless of her battle with cancer, she heads into the field. As Liz and Christine deal with their sons' disappearances in their own very different ways, Orin and Paul struggle to stay alive without losing their humanity in the process.
