Summary

A South African private investigator takes a vacation in the tropics, but murder soon follows in this “white-knuckle thriller” (Tess Gerritsen, bestselling author of Playing with Fire).   When PI Jade de Jong invites Supt. David Patel on a scuba diving holiday in Saint Lucia, she hopes the time away will rebuild their conflicted relationship. Jade’s dreams of a romantic Caribbean getaway are soon shattered, however, when David calls off their affair. Jade finds herself in the arms of an environmental activist—but personal concerns must be set aside when a diving instructor is found brutally stabbed to death.   Amanda is a most unlikely candidate for murder—a quiet and intelligent woman who, until a few months ago, pursued a high-powered career as an air traffic controller. She had few acquaintances and no lovers. The only loose end is a postcard in her room from Johannesburg-based Themba Msamaya, asking how she is doing “after 813.” Despite their recent breakup, Jade and David will have to put their differences aside to find out the full story.
