Tannie Maria might be the Karoo's favourite agony aunt, but when it comes to matters of her own heart, she doesn't always have all the answers. Why is it that she's having trouble telling her beau - the dashing Detective Henk Kannemeyer with the chestnut moustache - that she loves him?
There are other, more pressing problems too. A tall, dark stranger zoomed in on her Ducati motorbike: she is Zaba Kani, a journalist renowned for her exposés, who, after receiving threats, must move in with Maria for safety.
Who could tell that a trip to the country's northern borders was on the cards? The journey will plunge Maria and her sidekicks into pools of danger, amid water maidens and Harley Davidsons. Ladismith's famous crime fighter is back - with a tin of mosbolletjie rusks in hand - to restore peace from the Klein Karoo to the great Limpopo.
