Title: Dead in the water
Description: "Detective Storm van der Merwe is walking her dog on the beach when she makes a gruesome discovery: the body of a young journalist - missing a limb. For the residents of Grootbaai, corpses are bad for business: thousands of tourists from all over the world flock to this coastal town to shark-cage dive with its famous great whites. Storm is desperate to investigate the matter, but she's been banished from the field to a dreary back office. She's also carless after a tow-truck driver - an attractive one at that - crashed his truck into her Beetle. Meanwhile, in Cape Town, Storm's former colleague Andreas Moerdyk is having problems of his own while investigating the death of a famous Springbok rugby player whose car was also hit by a tow truck. Is Storm's car accident in some way related to the sports star's fatal collision? And is there a link between the journalist's death and stories of abalone poaching in Grootbaai? As Storm searches for answers, she realises that everyone's a suspect and the stakes are deadly."--Back cover.
