Alan Carter will be at Motueka Library on Tuesday 10 April at 6.30 pm to talk about his latest crime novel Marlborough Man.

Nick Chester is working as a sergeant for the Havelock police. If the river isn’t flooded and the land hasn’t slipped, the Marlborough Sounds are paradise – unless you are also hiding from a ruthless man with a grudge, in which case, remote beauty has its own kind of danger. In the last couple of weeks, two local boys have vanished …

Originally from England, Alan Carter began his crime-writing career while living in Australia, and his books are published by Fremantle Press. Marlborough Man is the first to be set in the area where he now lives. Copies will be available for sale for $35 at the talk. Light refreshments will be provided; koha appreciated.
