Summary

A troubled Australian journalist dives deep into the seedy heart of Cambodia, destroying the life of everyone he encounters – and his own… 
Cambodia – seething hotbed of desperation and vice. The Khmer Rouge fighters are long dead but their murderous legacy has left a population gripped by violence. Into this cauldron of psychosis and trauma steps Carl Meissner, a 32-year-old unemployed investigative journalist recently fired over his reporting of a paedophile scandal involving a prominent Sydney judge. Carl has been hired by a wealthy Sydney businessman to find his missing twin brother, last sighted in Cambodia. 
Forced to face his own demons, he sinks into Cambodia’s dark underworld of child pornography, human-organ trafficking, personal and political corruption, cannibalism, incest and drugs. 
Getting into this dangerous breeding ground of insanity is one thing. Getting out is another… 
A gritty, pacey crime thriller set in the dark heart of Cambodia.
