Franz Josef
Alan Carter
DS Nick Chester returns with a new case that will test his limits.
The tiny South Island town of Franz Josef is perched precariously on New Zealand’s Alpine Fault. It already faces devastating earthquakes, floods and landslides. And now it harbours a killer.
When a body is discovered suspended in a glacier, detectives Nick Chester and Latifa Rapata are sent to investigate. More victims surface, as does a web of corruption stretching from the international aid industry to the blood-steeped fields of a civil war.
This is the third book in the thrilling Nick Chester series by award-winning author Alan Carter.
‘Franz Josef is trademark Alan Carter: appealing characters, convincing police work and bursts of action, with an overlay of international tensions ripped from the headlines.’
‘Carter has put together a superb story of revenge, incorporating both local and international politics, West Coast culture, and the plight of the dispossessed.’
