Description: When David, an army officer serving in the Far East falls in love with Fleur, the young daughter of his colonel, she abandons her career aspirations to become an army wife in Singapore. After their first blissfully happy years together with their twins, Saffie and Nikki, tragedy strikes. David is killed. Grief stricken, Fleur prepares to take the twins back to England when Saffie mysteriously vanishes without trace from a peaceful Malaysian beach. Years later Nikki, pregnant and living far from her mother in New Zealand, is still tormented by the disappearance of her twin. Ghosts, and something half-remembered, haunt her dreams. Then Fleur goes missing en route to New Zealand. Nikki must journey to Singapore to find her mother and attempt a reconciliation but then the long-hidden ghosts make a dramatic reappearance sending shockwaves through the entire family.
