Without a name, without a face, and with no co-operation from the police, Sam and Sharman face a seemingly impossible task. With no other clues, and, more importantly, no funds, they persuade a brilliant art student to reconstruct the girl's face. But as her features become clearer, so the awful truth of her life and death slowly come to light, exposing a web of exploitation and corruption that reaches far into Europe exposing the terrible price of war and the men who benefit from it...
