A poor fisherman and his brother live in a grass hut by the sea. One day, the fisherman catches a magic talking fish, which he immediately sets free. He tells his brother what has happened and his brother demands that he go and ask the magic fish for a bigger house.
I Cape Town står en 6-årig pige og venter på, at hendes mor skal hente hende. En bil dukker ubemærket op, og væk er pigen. Mistanken falder på hendes far, kommissær Riedwaan Faizal, som er chef for politiets bandeenhed i Cape Town. Han er desperat efter at komme i gang med eftersøgningen, men politiet mistænker ham for at være kidnapperen. Suspenderet fra politistyrken ser Faizal magtesløst til, idet eftersøgningen af hans datter indstilles. Han beder den undersøgende journalist Clare Hart om hjælp. Hendes brutale tv-dokumentar om Cape Towns forsvundne piger har gjort hende til en lokal berømthed. Clare har set, hvordan unge gangstere i Cape Towns ghettoer beviser deres værd ved at plage børn. Clare ved at det bliver farligt og ulovligt at indlede en eftersøgning uden om politiet. Hun ved, at chancerne for, at barnet overlever, forværres for hvert minut, der går. Men hun ved også, at hun vil gøre hvad som helst for at hjælpe denne sønderknuste far, også selvom hun må risikere sit eget liv."Margie Orfords Fars pige gjorde et meget kraftfuld indtryk på mig. Hun løfter krimigenren." - The Times
