Battambang, Cambodia. Teenage mothers are disappearing from villages around the minefields, while others are being found mutilated and murdered, their babies abandoned. And there are whispers about the white crocodile, a mythical beast that brings death to all who meet it. Tess Hardy thought she'd put Luke, her violent husband, firmly in her past, until he calls from Cambodia where he's working as a mine-clearer, and there's something in his voice she hasn't heard before ... fear. Two weeks later, he's dead. Against her better judgment, Tess is drawn to Cambodia and to the killing fields. Caught in a web of secrets and lies that stretches all the way from Cambodia to another murder in England, and a violent secret 20 years old, Tess must find out the truth, and quickly - because the crocodile is watching.
