Tessa finds out accidentally that a powerful pharmacist firm (3 Bees) is trialling a new drug amongst the Africans. Tessa is more involved in the matter and she decides to ask Sandy, Justin's friend, for help because she does not want to involve to her husband. Tessa is murdered in a trip to the north of Kenya and the authorities try to accuse Arnold of the crime.
