...Sunset over Ha Long Bay off the northeast coast of Vietnam creates a scene that defines the Orient. The silhouetted islands, great limestone columns soaring out over the sea from the slenderest of bases, assume such perfection of proportion and form as to mock all man-made sculpture as artless imitation. Centuries ago, the harmony of this seascape inspired a whole school of Vietnamese painting.

The driver gestured that he could see sparks coming from the exhaust of the campervan and, after some discussion about whether to heed him, the couple pulled over. Falconio inspected the van with the stranger, then came to the front and asked Lees to rev the engine. When he walked behind the van again, Lees...
