"They call me the Headhunter...You may be familiar with my work."
It's Christmas in Mombasa and a machete-wielding predator is handing out severed heads as gifts.
As The Headhunter's gruesome spree continues, Detective Inspector Daniel Jouma is faced by the most baffling case - and the most brutal killer - in his 30-year career.
Meanwhile when an old friend becomes the latest victim, fishing boat skipper Jake Moore decides it's personal - and sets out to avenge a grieving widow and her children.
Two men. One killer. A deadly game in which the stakes could not be higher.
But can Jake and Jouma keep their heads...while all about them are losing theirs?
