After Luís Gomes' body is found floating in Funchal harbour, Comandante Figueira blames a security lapse by her for jeopardizing the success of anti-drug operation Boa Morte. Given a deadline to get results, DJ narrows down the list of suspects, each of them with something to hide. But her investigations draw the attention of a ruthless killer to herself and to her sniffer cat Gorgonzola. A tense endgame takes place on the two thousand foot high cliffs of Cabo Girão, when DJ is faced with the hardest decision of her life.

Which of the residents there is involved in the drug ring? The reclusive writer of historical novels? The crusty retired major and his bossy overbearing wife? The inquisitive antique dealer? The friendly wildlife photographer? At the Pittenweem Arts Festival, on the golf courses of St Andrews, and at the World Hickory Golf Championships, Spinks keeps one step ahead. DJ soon realises she is both the hunter and the hunted. Edinburgh International Festival Fireworks Concert is the setting for the decisive encounter.
