Tromp's Last Stand

Jake Tromp's wife has left him. But he still has guns. He makes do, operating as a private eye from a second-floor office, next to a prostitute's parlour. What else is an old-South African soldier to do in the new country? Tromp chooses his clients unwisely. Like the man who instructs him to kidnap a shady businessman's daughter. Only, is it the right girl whom Tromp and his fumbling assistant Frikkie capture? Soon they're shackled with two kidnapped girls, one of whom is more street-savvy than Tromp and Frikkie put together. The sassy lass not only hits it off with Omo, her Nigerian keeper, she also decides to manage her own kidnapping. From Florida her rich Cuban daddy - believing Fidel Castro to be behind his daughter's disappearance - sends two heavies to find his girl. Soon, Cape Town is crawling with Cubans. Or is it? Tromp, who has been known to try a few tricks of his own, plays the two sides against each other. Until the police get wind of the whole thing Tromp's last stand is a comical romp through the underworld.
