''n Moord by die Kaapse Waterfront, koelbloedig. Maar eers moet Bennie Griessel en Vaughn Cupido op Stellenbosch soek na ''n verdwene student, en die spoor vat van die eiendomsagent wat die kooptransaksie van Donkerdrif, korporatiewe swendelaar Jasper Boonstra se peperduur wynplaas, behartig het. En al hul ondersoeke het ''n gemene deler: gierigheid.
'n Student se dood in die berg by Stellenbosch lyk verdag. 'n Oud-recce vermoor as 'n boodskap. 'n Korrupte politikus se lyk in die sandkuil van Arabella se sestiende putjie. 'n Mooi veldgids, gewerf as 'n heuningwip vir die grootste dollar-rooftog in die land se geskiedenis. En Bennie Griessel se troudag kom nader . . .
Griessel en Cupido soek nie dié yskoue docket nie. Johnson Johnson, oud-poliesman, se lyk is gekry langs die treinspoor in die Karoo. In Bordeaux geniet Daniel Darret sy eenvoudige lewe, tot hy verplig word om nog een keer te jag - op die korrupte president van sy tuisland. Kan die Valke hom betyds keer? Kan Daniel die Russiese agente ontglip wat hom probeer elimineer? En gaan Bennie als oorleef om eindelik vir Alexa Barnard te vra om te trou?
