Almost fired for insubordination, detectives Benny Griessel and Vaughn Cupido find themselves demoted and exiled from the elite Hawks. Dispatched to the leafy streets of Stellenbosch, they are set to work on the simple case of a missing student.
Stellenbosch is beautiful, but its economy has been ruined by one man. Jasper Boonstra's corporate fraud has crashed the local property market, just when estate agent Sandra Steenberg desperately needs a big sale. Then she gets a call. From Jasper Boonstra. He may be a fraudster and sexual predator, but he is still the owner of a superb property worth millions.
For Benny Griessel, meanwhile, clinging to sobriety and the relationship that saved his life, the truth about the missing student will soon take a much more dangerous turn - and can only lead to more trouble.
