2015br. "Cobra" si apre in una lussuosa residenza nella regione dei vigneti vicino a Città del Capo. Un cittadino britannico, Paul Morris, è sparito e i cadaveri delle due guardie del corpo sono a terra ih un bagno di sangue. Bennie Griessel, l'ispettore protagonista di molte storie di Deon Meyer, indaga a partire da un unico labile indizio: i bossoli ritrovati portano incisa la testa di un cobra. Intanto a Città del Capo un giovane borseggiatore nero, che usa il suo "talento" per pagare gli studi alla sorella, viene arrestato subito dopo aver derubato una turista. Mentre i vigilantes del centro commerciale lo interrogano, un killer entra nella stanza dove lo trattengono e li uccide. Il pickpocket approfitta della confusione per fuggire lasciando a terra il cellulare, che viene ritrovato dalla polizia assieme ad altri bossoli con il cobra inciso. Inizia una tripla corsa mortale: quella del Cobra e dei suoi complici per portare a termine la misteriosa missione, quella del ragazzo nero per sfuggire ai killer che inspiegabilmente lo braccano, quella di Bennie Griessel e la sua squadra di Falchi per arrivare in tempo al ragazzo e per scoprire cosa c'è dietro la sparizione del cittadino britannico, che si rivela sempre più come un grosso complotto internazionale con in ballo segreti finanziari e politici.

2016br. Deserto dello Utah. La sagoma scura di un treno blindato attraversa la notte. All'improvviso, un'esplosione scuote il silenzio del deserto. Il treno si ferma, un gruppo di uomini armati circonda i portelloni avvolti dal fumo. I gesti sono rapidi e precisi. Il loro obiettivo anche: sottrarre due grosse bombole d'acciaio, una gialla, l'altra nera. Al loro interno, accuratamente separati, gli agenti binari di un potentissimo gas nervino destinato al dipartimento della Difesa. È un'arma chimica letale dal potenziale devastante, capace di mettere in ginocchio - se si verificasse il temutissimo scenario chiamato in codice "Beta" - la più potente democrazia del mondo. San Diego, qualche giorno dopo. Mancano poche ore all'arrivo del presidente degli Stati Uniti, quando i servizi segreti collegano il furto nello Utah al sorvegliato speciale John Wright, rampollo di una famiglia di industriali e matematico talentuoso, divorato dal risentimento verso una società che considera sbagliata e che vuole sovvertire. A tenergli testa è un agente che lo conosce molto bene, John Graves: solo il suo intuito ha una possibilità di svelare l'indecifrabile piano di Wright per diffondere il gas binario. I due si fronteggiano in una sfida psicologica al cardiopalma, un conto alla rovescia per mettere in salvo la vita non solo del presidente degli Stati Uniti, ma di tutta la popolazione della costa occidentale.
2018ril. Per generazioni la spada è stata tenuta nascosta, custodita per quando ce ne fosse stato bisogno. Era il luglio del 1937 quando Excalibur scomparve, inghiottita dalle nubi della guerra che presto avrebbe travolto il mondo. 1941. Dodici generali delle SS si riuniscono in un castello della Prussia orientale per evocare con un rito antichissimo gli spiriti dei più potenti guerrieri d'Europa. Al centro del rituale c'è un pentagramma formato da cinque spade. Una di loro è Excalibur, la mitica arma estratta dalla roccia da re Artù. 2010. L'esperto di opere d'arte Jamie Saintclair sta consultando un documento appartenente a un veterano di guerra tedesco, quando incappa nella descrizione di uno strano rituale che coinvolge la leggendaria Excalibur. La cosa lo fa sorridere, ma il collezionista Adam Steele si dichiara disposto a pagare una fortuna per la spada. E così Jamie parte alla volta della Tana dei Lupi di Hitler. Braccato da un gruppo di assassini, dovrà imparare a distinguere i nemici dagli amici: la missione potrebbe rivelarsi la più pericolosa che abbia mai affrontato.
