Nick Chester is working as a sergeant for the Havelock police in the Marlborough Sound, at the top of New Zealands South Island. If the river is not flooded and the land has not slipped, its 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 locals 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 in a small town.
