Khattak and Getty travel to Greece to trace Audrey's last movements in a desperate attempt to find her. In doing so, they learn that her work in Greece had strayed well beyond the remit of her NGO...
Had Audrey been on the edge of exposing a dangerous secret at the heart of the refugee crisis - one that ultimately put a target on her own back?

MEDIA REVIEWS
A novel that didn't flinch from the facts, that told a story with intelligence, thought and emotion * MyBookishBlogSpot *
Driven by mystery, but it's also poignant and complex. As her team bounces from country to country, digging into documents and confronting power, Khan does not shy from intricate global politics. A Dangerous Crossing is another gripping Esa Khattak and Rachel Getty mystery brewed from the depths of mankind's capacity for brutal inhumanity to others -- Mark Stevens * Don't Need A Diagram *
An empathetic portrait of Europe's migrant crisis, which also looks at the Canadian perspective on this issue as well -- Sheena Kamal * CrimeReads *
The rare writer who can blend both a serious social justice agenda with a top-notch plot... relevant, heartbreaking and a page-turning mystery. Grade: A -- Laura DeMarco * The Plain Dealer *
