A narcotics pick-up at sea goes horribly wrong. A man is lost overboard. A dangerous series of events sends shockwaves through the local community.

On a wintery day, a young woman is found dead at a local beach. Sergeant Bill Granger, the local policeman, is called in to investigate. He had hoped for a quiet off-season. Instead, what seems to be a straightforward case of an unfortunate death turns into a complex web of small-town secrets and a desire for revenge that will soon place Bill's family in danger.

With Niko Sopoaga, a young South Auckland constable working alongside him, Bill falls into the dark and dangerous world of drug distribution and a hardened motorcycle gang wreaking havoc, while they chase a clever killer.

As Bill and Niko search for clues to uncover the killer's identity, Annika Granger prepares for an art exhibition. She is befriended by Crystal, a young woman new to the close-knit community. Crystal overhears a conversation and ultimately discovers her partner, Andrei, is not the person she believed him to be.

Everyone discovers that secrets run deep, even in the best of communities.

Rings On Water is a thrilling tale of intrigue and suspense, weaving through the complexities of small-town life and the dark underworld lurking beneath its surface.

About the Author

Madeleine Eskedahl was born in Sweden, living in New Zealand for the last thirty years. She's married and has two daughters as well as Archie, the family's West Highland Terrier, and loves to live close to the beach, in a rural community. Having been fortunate to grow up in a small village on the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea, this particularly resonates with her, and she very much remains an islander at heart. As well as writing crime novels, Madeleine is passionate about conservation and enjoys being a 'penguin ranger'. This job includes regular monitoring of the korora, the little blue penguin and their nesting sites along the coast where she lives.
