Death in the Marsh

In the gripping historical mystery set in New Zealand in 1882, Constable Foster encounters a Scandinavian boy who only speaks Maori while running with a gang. Inspector Scully tasks James Hardy with investigating a recently discovered body in the marshes north of Napier, leading him to a broken family disinterested in the missing child. As Hardy delves deeper into the case, he must navigate cultural complexities and unsettling connections between the boy and the haunting discovery in the swamp. This tale is part of the Mr. Hardy Investigates series, a compelling spin-off from the Sergeant Frank Hardy Mysteries.
