Three people have been killed and a fourth may have been kidnapped at a guest house on a wine farm. Three victims, three control shots in the head and next to the corpses are cartridge cases with an unusual engraving in the shape of a snake. Apparently, the bloodbath was the work of a professional. Soon the criminal carries out a massacre in the very center of Cape Town, and the situation escalates to the limit. The investigation has been assigned to Captain Benny Grissel and his team of Major Crimes detectives.
