Doom Creek

Sergeant Nick Chester has dodged the Geordie gangsters he once feared and is out of hiding and looking forward to the quiet life. But gold fever is creating ill feeling between prospectors, and a new threat lurks in the form of trigger-happy Americans preparing for doomsday by building a bolthole in the valley.

All Nick Chester wants is to enjoy a quiet life, but there's something brewing in the valley that threatens to destroy his tranquil life and change the landscape of the town for forever. This second Nick Chester crime novel is as thrilling as its award-winning predecessor Marlborough Man.

Doom Creek is the second book in the award-winning Nick Chester series, filled with scandal, gangsters, and gold fever.

Sergeant Nick Chester has dodged the Geordie gangsters he once feared. He's out of hiding and looking forward to a quiet life. However, gold fever is creating ill-feeling between prospectors, and a new threat emerges when a group of trigger-happy Americans prepare for Doomsday by building a bolthole at the top of New Zealand's South Island.

With tensions simmering in the Wakamarina valley, Nick finds himself working on a cold-case murder and investigating a scandal-plagued religious sect. As local and international events reach fever pitch, Chester finds himself up against an evil that knows no borders.
