Another haunting psychological thriller from Carla Banks, as people trafficking impacts on three disparate lives with shocking consequences. It's Roisin Massey's first time in Saudi Arabia and she has a lot to learn. From behind the veil, Riyadh seems a hostile and forbidding place, for all its exotic beauty and opulence. Suddenly she's dependent on the man she married only 48 hours ago after a three-month relationship. Joe has lived in Saudi before; he knows how things operate. But Roisin is about to discover that Joe has not told her everything about his time in the Desert Kingdom -- the drug thefts from the hospital where he worked, the friend he saw beheaded in as-Sa'ah Square, the woman who fell to her death. Soon the ghosts from Joe's past come back to haunt them both -- and murder follows in their wake!
