For more than a century, the piopio has been extinct.
At least, that is what everyone believes.
When conservation scientist Emma Rangi is sent a mysterious bird recording from the remote wilderness of Fiordland, she expects an unusual call with an ordinary explanation. Instead, it draws her back towards a family she has allowed herself to drift from, and towards questions her late mother, Aroha, never answered.
What begins with a single birdsong soon leads Emma deep into some of New Zealand's most isolated country, where old maps, hidden journals and decades of carefully guarded secrets point towards an extraordinary possibility.
Something has survived.
And people have known.
As Emma uncovers the truth, she discovers that the greatest threat may not be finding what has been hidden, but deciding what happens once the rest of the world learns it exists.
Because discovery brings attention.
Attention brings value.
And value brings people who believe that protecting something gives them the right to control it.
Set against the spectacular wilderness of Fiordland, The Last Song of the Piopio: A Fiordland Mystery is an atmospheric adventure mystery about family, friendship, conservation and the secrets we keep to protect the things we love.
Some things survive because they are hidden. The question is what happens when hiding is no longer enough.
