"[T]his impressively original and deftly crafted paperback will prove to be an immediate and enduringly popular addition to community library collections and the personal reading list." — Midwest Book Review

When a sexy engineer hires a reformed hacker in Cape Town to help solve her boss's disappearance, the hunt quickly becomes deadly.

Young, bright and sexy, Carla Vitale has been handpicked to run Supertech, Africa’s leading independent Engineering firm. Then one Friday afternoon in Cape Town, her dream is shattered. Her boss and mentor, Nial Townley, disappears, his luxury vehicle is found in a crevice at the bottom of Chapman’s Peak and $USD 20m is missing from the Supertech’s overseas accounts. Three months later and the police are no closer to solving the riddle.

No job, no car, no phone, Carla turns to the one person she believes can help: software hacker turned day-trader, Daniel Le Fleur. But Le Fleur’s maintaining a low profile in Bantry Bay and he’s in no mood to ruin the serendipity.
