A killer is on the loose in the quiet streets of Saltern-le-Fen, and he isn't going to stop. And the sniper, like Ashcroft, takes to taunting the police: they'll never catch him, they need to respect him, they shouldn't be sidetracked looking for their old adversary. Jackman and Evans find themselves in a lethal game of cat-and-mouse, but are they the cats or the mice?
Philo Vance's final cases
’n Reeks geheimsinnige oorsese betalings aan weeskinders van die Bosoorlog het die Inkomstediens diep bekommerd. Dit dra die vingermerke van die ou SAW se koverte intelligensiegroep, Delta 40. Tex se aandag is erg verdeel tussen dié saak en die selfdood van die Engelsman, ‘n oud-makker, wat uit gewetensbeswaardheid nooit aan ‘n vuurwapen gevat het nie. Met Carlos nou terug in Angola, probeer Tex die vreemde omstandighede van die Engelsman se dood opsy skuif en Helena met die naspoor van die geheimsinnige transaksies help. Maar hy en Carlos se bosoorlog-verlede – en die spoor van ‘n ivoor-smokkelnetwerk wat hulle saam met die Engelsman in Angola oopgekrap het – bly opdring tot Tex dit nie meer kan ignoreer nie.
It's the perfect getaway. But the past will always find you . . .
