Dawn light on the mountains, a two metre swell coming off False Bay. PI Fish Pescado lithe, blond-haired, six-pack is surfing. To Fish this is paradise. Except, he has no work, and a diminishing bank balance. Until a young surfer paddles 'Hey, Fish, there's a pretty chick looking for you.'

The pretty chick is Vicki Kahn, poker addict by night, lawyer by day. She's bright, sharp, lovely. The best woman he's ever had. And she's got a job for find the murderous bastard who wiped out a bystander at an illegal drag race.If only it were that easy. Thing is that the drag racer has connections high up. Really high up, right to the police commissioner. Thing is the police commissioner has his eye on Vicki Kahn. Thing is the police commissioner has a past, a nasty past. A past that has something to do with hit squads, assassinations, rhino horns and the kind of information that no one wants uncovered. The kind of information that involves lots of money, gold bullion in fact. The commissioner's also got a taste for the lush life. A taste that is ruthless, savage.

Before long, Fish and Vicki can't tell who's a cop and who's a robber. Or who's gunning for them.
