Two bodies are discovered near Gubu, one burning at the base of a tree struck by lightning, and the other on the banks of the Zambezi, threatening to tear Detective Sibanda's life apart. The victims, while not connected initially, are linked by Sibanda's intuition. The only clues are a fragment of material found in the brain of one victim, a puncture wound in the thigh of the other, and a diary full of coded names.

As the men investigate further, they uncover links to an ivory smuggling gang, and in their pursuit of the killer, Sibanda and Ncube must navigate their temperamental Landrover, their chief inspector's lack of cooperation, and a rough and remote landscape full of wild and dangerous adventure.
