Sinopse

3. THE WINGED FORTUNE - FABEL RETIEF SERIES
 
Who is the mysterious Mr. P. Brink who boards the flight to Britain at the very last moment? Under the guise of an innocent traveller, Fabel Retief, the legendary former detective, is hot on the trail of Paxanos, the cunning mastermind behind an astonishing diamond heist of R140,000. The plan is simple. Follow Paxanos, and lead him into a trap at Scotland Yard.
 
But this is no ordinary flight. Thousands of metres above the heart of Africa, the journey takes a deadly turn. The aeroplane is hijacked and forced to change course toward the tumultuous Congo. On board, a dangerous cat-and-mouse game plays itself out. Paxanos, aware of the shadow following him, unmasks Retief and thereby knocks his most powerful weapon, anonymity, from his hands. After the hijackers are apprehended in Leopoldstad, a shocking discovery follows. The diamonds have vanished without a trace. Did Paxanos outwit him, or is there a fourth, invisible player in this deadly game. Someone who was under his very nose the entire time?
 
From the dusty streets of the Congo to a derelict English airfield and the misty quays of Dover, Fabel must continue his search. He must risk the unthinkable to uncover the truth, for this winged fortune is not just at stake. It is in the hands of an enemy he never saw coming.
