Marlborough Man

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Nick Chester is working as a sergeant for the Havelock police in the Marlborough Sound, at the top of New Zealand's South Island. If the river isn't flooded and the land hasn't slipped, it's paradise — unless you are also hiding from a ruthless man with a grudge, in which case, remote beauty has its own kind of danger.

In the last couple of weeks, two local boys have vanished. Their bodies are found, but the Pied Piper is still at large. Marlborough Man is a gripping story about the hunter and the hunted, and about what happens when evil takes hold of a small town.
