NEW ZEALAND, 1878: Has the missing man been murdered in the dense bush, or has he simply abandoned his wife and children for another woman?
Sergeant Frank Hardy and his new wife Mette attempt to solve two real mysteries from nineteenth century New Zealand: the whereabouts of Peter Kane, who left his home to look for work and did not return, and the brutal murder of an accommodation house owner who was splitting palings in the bush. Were they connected? If so, how? Note that this is a short listen. The novella/audio comes after Recalled to Life and before Dead Shot in The Sergeant Frank Hardy Mysteries series.
The characters in this story are dramatically brought to life by the talented voice actor Sam Devereaux
