For now, Benny has more pressing things to worry about - it''s the countdown to his wedding day on 12 June.BUT THE PEACE IS ABOUT TO BE SHATTEREDWhen a student is found dead on a mountain trail, and the key suspect, a local businessman, is found murdered in what looks like a professional hit delivering a message - suffocated by fast-action filler foam sprayed down his throat - Griessel and Cupido both know this the work of professionals. Benny also knows he needs a cool head to untangle this web of deceit, and to manage the incessant pressure. He needs to stay calm, focused - and sober. And it all needs to be wrapped up by 12 June.THE CLOCK IS TICKING.
