I lived in Cambodia in the time of Khmer Rouge. I lived through an experiment. It was the worst experiment in history.

Sebastiana Sarinn survived Year Zero in the Killing Fields of Cambodia. Ten years on she has made a new life, working as a prostitute in London. But a simple accident...losing her bag on a train...leads to harrowing consequences, both for Sebastiana and for embittered loner Selwyn Bodkin, who finds himself drawn into her terrible past. Can either escape the scars of history?

Absolute Zero is a novel about the weight of the past and the damage caused by its collision with the present. In this darkly twisted story of addiction, obsession, deception and criminality, the author compellingly recreates both the fractured social landscape of Thatchers Britain and the terrifying world of the Khmer Rouge.

D.S. Lewis is a journalist and historian, specialising in South-East Asia and modern Britain. He has lived in Germany and France, and currently resides in the UK.
