Ex-Flying Squad cop Jake Moore's career was cut short by a bullet; ten years on, he runs a game-fishing business that is about to go to the wall. But old habits die hard, and when cerebral Mombasa detective Daniel Jouma - seemingly the only good policeman in a city where corruption is king - asks for his help in solving a baffling murder case, he cannot help büt become involved.

The mangled body of a street criminal has washed up on the beach and a fishing-boat skipper and his bait boy have been blown up in the water. When Jake and Jouma look closer, they discover that not only are the murders linked but the conspiracy surrounding them stretches far beyond the reaches of Africa - and has deadly implications for everyone concerned:

The crime-busting duo of Jake and Jouma are a breath of fresh air among crime-thriller heroes, and their first Kenyan adventure offers one hell of a hair-raising read.
