James Wilson is looking forward to a weekend at a luxury hotel with only a few friends and family members as guests. Or, he is mostly looking forward to it. Definitely looking forward to it – with slight reservations. If only he could get rid of the nagging worry that there would be a murder the weekend. Brigadier Patrick McIntosh receives a call about an unidentified woman found in the Vaal River. Normally, the head of Murder and Robbery Division would not deal with it personally, but the call is from someone whose instincts McIntosh trusts implicitly. The woman is identified as a CIA agent and the team races to find out why she was visiting a nudist resort in a small town in South Africa. Nothing is as it seems at the small holiday resort and McIntosh and his team battle to get answers. Fortunately, McIntosh has more than one ace up his sleeve. Unfortunately, he realises the true threat too late.
