When drone operator and Youtuber Lucas Lowwater discovers Mark Stefano's body in a watery grave, heiress and only child Sofia Stefano hires Jack Flyn to find her fathers killer. Police Detective Hendricks has bungled the investigation so far.
Flyn squeezes Mark Stefano's ex-wife society estate agent Sandy Badenhorst along with shady architect Grant Drempel and the ambitious contemporary artist Hugo Fernwood. A forty-year-old Polaroid photo unseats a family secret, leading to more questions than answers. Mark Stefano's serial widow, gallery owner Victoria and her mixed up seventeen-year-old daughter Skyler Jannsen are lighting up Flyn's radar.
Freewheeling Nev Nano the eighties one-hit-wonder holds a dark secret. Frosty gallery assistant, Willow Williams is hiding something and Flyn plans to peel back that polished veneer.

I read about 4 thrillers a week and was delighted when a friend reccomended this. Finally a new author! Fantastic, fast paced story that draws you in straight away. Wonderful location of Cape Town, excellent characters, interesting plot. Really enjoyed not knowing 'who dunnit' until right at the end. Enjoyed the book so much I read it in two sittings. Great knowledge of wine, coffee, salt, cooking, the descriptions actually made me want a cup of coffee while I was reading. Really looking forward to the next book.
