About this book:
Someone shot warrant-officer Milo April at the Cape Town Waterfront. In cold blood. In broad daylight. An execution. Is a senior SAPS officer responsible? And is it related to the mysterious letters received by suspended Hawks detectives, Bennie Griessel and Vaughn Cupido? With hints of State Capture shenanigans?
If they can solve this, their careers are saved, their status restored. But how do you investigate a case in secret with your whole future on the line if you are caught out?
While at the same time you have to waste your time with a little student in Stellenbosch who apparently vanished after a weekend of partying? And the monkey business between Jasper Boonstra, the mega-rich, notorious corporative swindler and the sensual, desperate real estate agent, Sandra Steenberg . . .
You do what you always do if you are Griessel and Cupido. Shut up, keep your wits about you, carry on. Whilst your bosses rant and rave and the media applies inhuman pressure. And you slowly realise it is the darkest passion behind it all.
