"A fun, page-turning thriller that kept me enthralled and chuckling. There's a wonderful sort of sophisticated goofiness reminiscent of Nick and Nora Charles of The Thin Man. I couldn't put it down!"
Description
Dawson and Lucy hit Cape Town… and Cape Town hits back. When their new employer dies in a suspicious road accident and his brother, a South African government lawyer disappears in Cape Town, Dawson and Lucy are recalled to MI6. For once their mission is straightforward: liaise with Rebecca Erasmus of South African State Security and find the missing lawyer. Then Rebecca is kidnapped. Surely this has nothing to do with the forthcoming presidential election and the vengeful Chinese assassin in town… Why are Dawson and Lucy held up at gunpoint on Table Mountain? Why is a South African presidential candidate hiding in a vineyard? How are the CIA and Chinese involved? Can you fly a helicopter without scooping some goats up for the ride? And what part does dreadful cooking have to play in proceedings?
