Publisher's summary

Sergeant Frank Hardy is an ex-soldier from Her Majesty's 57th Regiment who is scraping out a living in a small New Zealand settlement by driving a coach and playing rigged card games. But he's haunted by nightmares of things he's seen and done in wartime. 

When he's asked to find two missing Scandinavian settlers, he refuses - until he catches a glimpse of the cousin of one of the missing men. But while he searches for the bodies and loses his heart, someone from his past returns with revenge in mind, and the body count begins.

Not the Faintest Trace is the first in a series of historical thrillers, each complete by itself but with a continuing story of the central characters.

"My forebears lived in the wider area throughout the period covered in the book (and one was killed in the NZ Wars) - so I could have been a very hard-sell, but instead I loved the whole exciting story. I'm very happy to recommend this book and the second in the series and roll on the publication of the next one." (Val Burr, local historian, Palmerston North, New Zealand)

Loved the story and performance!

The performance was great! And the story interesting and informative about the history of New Zealand. We have visited twice and love the country! I’ll be looking for the next book.

Terrible pronunciation

A good story ruined by very poor understanding of Maori pronunciation. It was excruciating. Surely some basic understanding of Maori language is required before starting.
