Krista Bishop runs a security agency. For women only. Until she gets a call she can’t refuse from the Secret Service, to guard two high profile Chinese businessmen.
What Krista isn’t told is the Chinese are mopping up the richly rewarding abalone poaching business. They want it all. From shore to plate. A takeover that will kick three Cape Town ganglords – known as the Untouchables – out of business and destroy their luxury lifestyles.
Abalone means power, money, drugs, guns. No longer untouchable, gang boss Titus Anders fears for the life of his daughter and calls in Krista Bishop to protect her from the madness as the gang war destroys his world.
Krista’s the best. She’s young, tough and a long way from the violence of the streets. Or is she?
