On Dangerous Ground by Sue Cook

It's devastating enough when Pru's husband confesses to a long term affair on their 20th wedding anniversary. Then when her daughter, Molly, announces she's leaving for Vietnam on a Gap Year project, Pru knows her comfortable family life is over for good. Just as she's picking up the pieces, an email brings news that Molly has become involved with political activists and could be in serious danger. Arriving in this beautiful but alien land, Pru embarks on a desperate search for her recalcitrant daughter and meets Ben, a veteran of the US war. He's intelligent, funny, handsome, but damaged. Together they tackle corrupt police, greedy property dealers and a ruthless local party cadre; and when eventually Pru finds her daughter, she also discovers an inner strength she never knew she had.
'A meticulously researched adventure story' -- Sunday Express 20061105 'The mixture of glamour and menace in the novel's Vietnam setting is well caught.. this is a pacy, absorbing read, with some good set-pieces and a satisfying ending' -- The Times 20061028
