Ein schneller, tougher Krimi aus Südafrika: Kriminalreporterin Magdalena Cloete hat vielleicht einen Fehler gemacht, als sie den Anrufer mit der leisen Stimme abwimmelte. Denn jetzt ist er tot. Jemand hat Balthasar vier Kugeln in die Brust gejagt. Es ist das Post-Apartheid-Südafrika der Jahrtausendwende. In Pietermaritzburg, Hauptstadt der Provinz KwaZulu-Natal, regiert jetzt der ANC. Doch in den Townships und Dörfern regieren auch Angst und Aberglaube ... War es ein politischer Mord? Maggies Instinkte schlagen Alarm und auf der Suche nach der Wahrheit legt sie sich mit lokalen Politikern und Gangstern an – und hat auf einmal Schlägertypen an der Hacke. Doch Drohungen und selbst Anschläge verstärken nur Maggies Sturheit. Denn mittlerweile weiß sie genug über Balthasars Leben und sein Engagement in der Aidshilfe, um ihre professionelle Distanz in den Wind zu schießen und mit gefährlichen Stunts ihren Hals zu riskieren.
