But when his stepdaughter, Nenita Coogan's body is found naked and lifeless in a locked-down cave, Jack goes undercover to investigate the case and catch the killer. Set in seedy Manila of the 1970s, Cave and Shadows explores the themes of identity and history, corruption and colonialism." -- Back cover
