Synopsis
'Compelling . . . Nicol's Cape Town is cool, dangerous, full of humour, and very far from its touristy image'
THE TIMES
PI Fish Pescado is surfing. To Fish this is paradise. Except, he has no work, and less money. Then: a job. Find the murderous bastard who wiped out a bystander at an illegal drag race.
Thing is the drag racer turns out to have powerful connections -- right to the police commissioner. Thing is the commissioner has his eye on Fish's girlfriend Vicky, the best woman he's ever had. Thing is the commissioner has a nasty past. A past that has to do with the bad old days and hit squads and the kind of information that no one in the new rainbow nation wants uncovered. The commissioner's also got a taste for the lush life. A taste that is ruthless, savage.
