Description
A sequel to Return to Lucifer Creek.
Departing Lucifer Creek, Barry and Helen head for Tekapo with the intention of reporting the murder of Helen’s sister and their tramping companions to the authorities.
Instead, following a confrontation on the way, they unexpectedly end up in the cells at Timaru Police Station. What’s more, they soon discover that not everyone is willing to believe their truthful detailing of the near-fatal encounters they had with the Grey Ghosts.
Upon release, Barry and Helen are placed into the ‘care’ of their parents, and the word ‘embargo’ and its ramifications are explained to them. But there are still people on their side – an escape plan is devised, and the couple manage to return to the safety of Lucifer Creek.
Resuming their search for the white bull tahr, they soon discover the upper reaches of Godley Valley are not the safe haven they were hoping for – they are not alone.
Will Barry ever satisfy his quest for the elusive white bull tahr? Will this young couple ever escape the strictures of the ‘embargo’?
Whatever the outcome, their lives will never be the same – the aftermath of their confrontation with the Grey Ghost has charged their lives forever.

About the Author
Gary Joll first hunted the Godley Valley in 1959; he was twenty-two years old. Over the following few years Gary and his hunting companions regularly hunted in the Godley Valley and Lilybank Station, in fact it was while was hunting the property he learned the station was for sale.
Fully aware of the potential for a future guided trophy hunting enterprise Gary undertook to form a small private company, the transfer of the pastoral lease undertaken, and in October 1970 Gary and his new bride Susan moved onto the station. A new purpose built lodge was under construction by November the same year.
In 1992 Gary was awarded the SCI ‘Outstanding Professional Guide of the Year’ a one-off annual award for excellence of service and quality of trophies.
Gary’s first book – Big Game Hunting in New Zealand, was published in 1968. Since then he has published a further seven titles with Return to Lucifer Creek being number six and Aftermath, a sequel to Return to Lucifer Creek being number eight, shortly to be released.
There can be no doubt that Gary Joll has an extraordinary knowledge of tahr and their habitat for he writes with a profound knowledge of both.
