A terrorist car bomb, and death comes quickly to The Confessor.
The Confessor is Gus Keene, the best interrogator the Secret Intelligence Service has ever had.

Somewhere in their razed scenario lie the clues to Keene’s death. But Kruger must pick his way through the chaos of treachery and violence to find them…
