Meisie Willemse is working as an investigator in the red light district of Windhoek when she falls into a trap. While trying to help a drunken prostitute, she is knocked down and robbed of her service weapon. When the prostitute’s torso is found in a riverbed, she and her partner Shivute are caught in a maelstrom of unforeseen events. A cynical Yellow Press reporter named Piet Potgieter begins tailing her as she investigates and blackmails her in connection with a dark secret that dates back to just before Namibia gained independence in 1990. And does the mysterious forensic scientist Dr. Schneider have anything to do with the dead women?
