This Southern African adventure tells the story of Freddy, a successful young English business man, who embarks on a rescue mission to save the lives of his mother and uncle who have been abducted and held to ransom by members of the people trafficking and criminal underworld now so prevalent in this beautiful but undoubtedly dangerous part of the African continent. The story starts when he unearths some papers in an old suitcase once belonging to his late grandfather leading him to take a trip out to South Africa where his mother and uncle recently moved to. However, on arriving, he is faced with the fact that his relatives have been abducted and are being held to ransom and it is now down to him, with the help of some trusted friends he makes, to rescue them. The backdrops to this story are the beautiful landscapes of Southern Africa set against the trafficking in both people and drugs. There are blood-thirsty and vicious scenes vividly described as Freddy and his friends struggle bravely to achieve a just conclusion to the story.
