When he arrives at Matsu to investigate a diamond theft, he immediately suspects the reclusive but obviously capable Dru Porter. He knows she's hiding something - but is she the real culprit? As Connor's investigation deepens and Dru's past catches up with her, their instant mutual dislike threatens to blind them to the true danger lurking in the mine that could leave them both at the mercy of the desert...
