Cobra

A mathematics professor from Cambridge University vanishes from his holiday home in Cape Town, leaving behind three dead bodyguards. Detective Benny Griessel and his team investigate the massacre, finding the only clue to be a snake engraved on the bullet casings. Their search pulls them into an international conspiracy where the professor's work is feared by terrorists, criminals, and politicians alike. As the body count rises, Benny must find a teenage pickpocket who might hold the key to the case, but he's not the only one hunting for the boy.
