A young Māori plumber is shot dead on a Naenae roadside, and the news files it under gang business. Tiina Salo knows better. The Finnish-born photojournalist has spent months hunting a single face - Aunty Kino, a master criminal who hides behind a moko kauae she has no right to wear. Now Tiina has her. On film.

Then a name surfaces on the evening news that he was never meant to hear, and the holiday is over before it has begun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat he's walked into is a city built on a drug economy, a police force with a leak it can't trace, a Colombian yacht in the harbour, and a killer wearing someone else's culture as a mask.
