Well made, with an excellent twist.

Negotiator Dominic King is sent to South Africa, to negotiate the safe return of botanist Naomi Shaffer.

This series was suggested, as I've recently been watching Waking the Dead, I am a big fan of Trevor Eve.

It's a good first episode, it's very well made, it's well shot, I love the location work, and I found the twist very unexpected, and very good.

I don't want to be unkind, but I'm not sure the role is good enough for Trevor Eve, I felt that he had way more to offer than the role allowed for, maybe it will change as this develop, I am watching this for the first time, so I don't know what to expect.

A pretty good start, 7/10.

Trivia
Trevor Eve (Dominic King) & Sharon Maughan (Jane Wickham) also worked together on Waking the Dead (2000) as Det Supt Peter Boyd & Michelle / Elizabeth respectively.
