Author John Sager writes about a country with which he is intimately familiar, having visited New Zealand several times in the 1980s. His principal character is Jeffry Reardon, a private investigator on leave from his Bellevue, Washington law firm. With the help of native Maori friends, he discovers the perpetrators of several crimes: a drug-running syndicate in the nation's capital and a murder closer to home.
As committed Christians, he and his Kiwi wife establish rehabilitation clinics for the country's drug addicts and their families.
