This is the third episode of the packing Crime series, Shakespeare Sisters, by the young but criminally energized South Africa writer C. C. Kirk.
Where you get cops, you get crime.
Even on holiday.
Mark Wilson is looking forward to his first holiday with Ariel Nel. While they are relaxing in the lovely seaside town of St James, Ariel's former stepfather is brutally murdered.
Mark soon finds out that neither Ariel, nor her aunt Celia, could stand the murdered man and that Celia always suspected him of killing Ariel's mother.
Mark and his friends find themselves investigating the murder of James Peters, despite being a thousand two hundred kilometres away from the murder scene.
As the investigation delves into Peters’ past, Mark uncovers a secret Ariel and her aunt have kept for twenty one years.
Mark now fears that his search for the truth will cost him the woman he loves.
The investigators find that Peters was laundering money for a group of international weapon smugglers who are selling weapons to Zimbabwe despite international sanctions.
As the investigation moves closer to uncovering the truth, the team finds out that the men they are investigating will stop at nothing.
Not even murder.
