Immersed in Aboriginal culture while being asked to stay away from the investigation, he falls under the spell of a Swedish woman and gradually reveals his past to her. But the savage murders multiply until they hit Harry close to home. Personally involved in this case, he launches a relentless hunt, at the risk of sinking.
