Although written in English (unlike his compatriot Deon Meyer who writes in Afrikaans), Nicol's Cape Town-set series of thrillers are as much a total immersion into an alien environment for an English reader. This is the final volume in the Revenge Trilogy (previous titles were Killer Country and Payback) and is packed with thrills and surprises and in security entrepreneurs Mace and Pylon, he has created a fascinating pair of anti-heroes. Cool and stylish.

The third instalment in Nicol's Revenge Trilogy. Mace Bishop has become obsessed with tracking down Sheemina February who he believes contracted his wife's murder when his and his business partner Pylon's security company is contracted to provide security to a local arms systems designer - Magnus Oosthuizen - who has created weapons for South African navy frigates. Oosthuizen is tendering against alternative First World-designed weapons systems. But Oosthuizen's life is threatened and Mace learns that the government's arms buyers want to acquire the First World weapons system for the frigates to benefit from financial kickbacks. Enter the National Intelligence Agency that puts pressure on Mace and Pylon to steal the Oosthuizen weapons system. Gradually, Mace recognises the hidden hand of Sheemina February and realises that he is being manipulated.
