Heat of the Sun: The Sport of Kings

The Sport of Kings

When ruthless newspaper baron Max Van der Vuurst (Joss Ackland, Lethal Weapon 2) is exonerated in a local murder case and is later found burned to death in his bed, Superintendent Albert Tyburn (Trevor Eve, The Politician's Wife) has to determine whether the two cases are connected. A gun battle with a band of African marauders and the exposure of a rash of shocking family and financial secrets trigger a final surprise from Van der Vuurst, and drives Tyburn's love affair with Emma Fitzgerald (Susannah Harker, Pride and Prejudice) to the brink literally.
