A Sea of Flames




In the final instalment in the Heartland thriller trilogy, intrepid journalist Farah Hafez returns home to Afghanistan and uncovers a new secret

Saigon, 1965. War correspondent Raylan Chapelle has a horrifying experience, one that changes his life forever.

More than thirty years later in Moscow, journalist Paul Chapelle is investigating an attack on his former lover and colleague Anya Kozlova when he stumbles across a well-guarded secret of his father.

Around the same time, in the garden of the presidential palace in Kabul, journalist Farah Hafez relives a traumatic event from her childhood, something she has spent her life trying to forget.

The past casts deep shadows over the lives of these three people who are connected in unexpected ways, by both love and war.
