The Burning Bay
Shadows of the Sounds, Book Two
A house is burning across the water in the Marlborough Sounds.
Someone was heard screaming inside.
And before the flames appeared, a boat was heard leaving the bay.
When Senior Constable Jim Storey is called to a waterfront property in Te Mahia Bay in the middle of the night, the fire is already consuming most of the house.
Then firefighters find a dead man outside.
He is not the owner.
The woman who owns the property is hundreds of kilometres away, her husband has disappeared, and someone else may have been staying at the house in secret.
What first appears to be a tragic fire quickly becomes something much harder to explain.
Alongside Constable Mia Rangi, Jim begins pulling apart the movements of the people connected to the property. Old relationships surface. Stories begin to change. And the isolated bays and waterways that make the Marlborough Sounds so beautiful also provide the perfect places for people to disappear.
Someone knows what happened in Te Mahia Bay.
Someone left before the fire took hold.
And Jim is increasingly certain the flames were meant to destroy more than a house.
Set among the remote properties, dark water and close knit communities of New Zealand's Marlborough Sounds, The Burning Bay is an atmospheric crime mystery filled with believable characters, dry Kiwi humour and a case where almost everyone appears to be hiding something.
Book Two in the Shadows of the Sounds mystery series.
