More than a decade after the end of Apartheid, Mace Bishop and Pylon Buso are still running a security agency, insulating the wealthy from the violence endemic on Cape Town's streets. When they are hired to provide close-protection to a family of Boer farmers living in the Transvaal, they become the unknowing targets of a new, and dangerous set of enemies: Obed Chocho, a corrupt politician, and Spitz, his terrifying hitman, who kills with mechanical efficiency. But behind it all, are the schemes and machinations of an old adversary – Shemina February – looking to settle a score. AUTHOR: Mike Nicol was born and lives in Cape Town.
