Neighbours have become enemies, countless lives have been lost, and the country has been torn apart over matters of religion, citizenship and sovereignty. But now a precarious peace is in the balance: a royal wedding has been negotiated by Catherine de’ Medici and Jeanne d’Albret, an alliance between the Catholic Crown and Henri, the Huguenot king of Navarre.

Nadat Ella Neser as moordspeurder uit die polisie bedank het, het sy op plesierbote in die Karibiese See gaan werk. Toe kom die virus, en sy is verplig om na Suid­Afrika te repatrieer. Nou sit sy sonder werk en sonder toekoms. Sy word gevra om 'n private ondersoek te loods op die dorpie Osspruit in Mpumalanga. Vier jong manne het oënskynlik besluit om voor en tydens die inperkingstyd weg te loop, maar meer sinistere gebeure word agter hulle verdwynings vermoed . . .

Die aksie speel binne vier dae in Julie af, tydens die grendeltyd. Hoe dieper Ella begin krap, hoe meer besef sy daar is 'n gewetenlose brein wat agteraf konkel met die steenkoollorries na Eskom as rookskerm. Ella is genoodsaak om haar eie intuïsie te vertrou ten einde by die waarheid uit te kom – maar dit gebeur nie sonder verdere hikke en bloedlating nie.
