"In a corrupt South Africa, the criminals are as likely to be in government-or even in the police-as on the streets. Two decorated detectives must put their careers on the line to find the link between three seemingly unrelated homicides in the latest thriller in the #1 internationally bestselling series. Detectives Benny Griessel and Vaughn Cupido are languishing in Stellenbosch. Run-of-the-mill police work in the leafy university town is a far cry from their previous life in Cape Town fighting crime and government corruption at the highest level. Then a student is found dead on a mountain trail, and the key suspect, a local businessman, is found murdered in what looks like a professional hit delivering a message-suffocated by fast-action filler foam sprayed down his throat. On the other side of the country, a beautiful wildlife guide is recruited by a group of special forces soldiers to act as a honeytrap, part of a dangerous multimillion-dollar heist that goes tragically wrong. A single link connects the murdered businessman to the special forces, making Benny and Vaughn's case all the more mysterious. Another former soldier is soon killed, as is an agent of the country's disgraced former president; and then the heist crew reorganizes with an even more audacious theft in mind. Following leads as they fly at them, not sure exactly who to trust and struggling to connect the dots as the motives don't seem to add up, Benny and Vaughn find their case increasingly points to the corruption polluting the country. They know the clock is ticking-and Benny also has to be at the altar on time for his anxiously-anticipated wedding day"--
