Book 3 in the Arnold Prinsloo trilogy
Snatched from the Karoo by his ex-wife, Arnold is a prisoner in a luxurious jail. Queen has hidden him away in her exclusive retreat near Stellenbosch while she investigates a disturbing rumour: dangerous figures from the criminal underworld are looking for him, and this time Magnus Mulder has nothing to do with it.
Cut off from his team and stranded among wealthy world travellers, Arnold is already out of his depth when one of the guests is murdered. Then he is offered a life-changing amount of money to uncover the secrets of the other guests and expose the killer. Using his usual combination of detective instinct and sheer luck, Arnold thinks he has solved the case.
But the dead man was not who he claimed to be, and Arnold soon finds himself at the centre of something far darker than a closed-circle murder. Dragged from a country-house mystery into a deadly world of corporate intrigue, Arnold must help Queen confront a powerful enemy - before the curse of the Mulders catches up with him for good.
