Fear stalks the corridors of power in South Africa's Houses of Parliament. An assassin is killing politicians at the top levels of government and the president is being blackmailed - but no one knows why.
Martial arts expert James Steiner is once again thrown into a world of post-apartheid political intrigue and terror. Steiner's cool independence makes him the perfect man for the job of tracking down the killer and those who hired him. Brian Reeve weaves a complex plot which soon reveals that in this game, trust can be misplaced. In a race against time, Steiner must save the lives of innocent men and protect the balance of power in the government. But as soon as he sets foot in South Africa, a name from his past comes back to haunt him - and to claim his life. Lured into a direct confrontation, Steiner takes the challenge and faces what could be a duel to the death. Will his physical strength and mental coolness, honed through his martial arts training, be enough to bring him out on top, and save the life of the woman he loves?
