A great white is trolling the surf along Shark Bay off the coast of Western Australia. Suddenly, she senses a vibration and moves toward something that could be a small seal. She makes a probing bite, not an all-out snapping and shaking motion, but a nice slice - a taste. But sadly, the taste is bitter, sour - she lets go and moves on.

Sam Rhys has two problems. Custody of a suspicious sealed package found floating in the ocean near a friend’s cray traps and a job offer from a set of mysterious clients who communicate only through a laptop in an abandoned office building - to do an undercover investigation of a prominent businessman in Perth.

Sam is just coming up on his break at the University. In fact, he was administering final exams when the call came from Alex Rosen, his best friend, with the job proposal,. At first, he is a little hesitant, but the former San Francisco homicide cop is bored, and the offer proves too bizarre to pass up.

Sam Rhys who we first met in Sandgroper Desecrations, is off on another adventure with his best girl Martha - the statuesque Greek blonde, his friend Alex and the unusual characters - Sandgropers - people who live in Western Australia from the rugged outback to the Aboriginal Kimberly region, the Bungle sandstone domes, to the cities of Broome and Perth. Herbert Hocking has created a brilliant series of mesmerizing adventures for Sam Rhys in the breathtaking landscape of Western Australia.
