When bossy and wealthy Pamela Jordaan hires PI Jade de Jong as a bodyguard, Jade thinks the job will be relatively simple. But in a world of strip joints, sex work and human trafficking nothing could be further from the truth. After she finds Pamela’s missing husband brutally tortured and clinging to life, Jade realises that she has been drawn into a wicked game: she too is being watched. And when her old flame Superintendent David Patel’s child is kidnapped and wife blackmailed, the situation takes a dramatic turn for the worse. More so when it becomes chillingly clear that all these crimes are connected. Jade must act, but her options are impossible. And for her this is much more than just another job.
