About this title.
[Shortlisted for the Sir Julius Vogel Awards - Best Adult Novel - 2009] Juliet went looking for a man - a dead man. Her search for him, and the answers she hoped he could give her, took her to the furthest reaches of the planet. What she found was both magnificent and terrible. What she had to decide cut across all that she was and all that she believed in.

About this Author.
[Shortlisted for the Sir Julius Vogel Awards - Best New Talent - 2009]
Born in England in 1946, I moved to New Zealand with my parents and older brother at the age of four and, apart from five years in my late twenties spent travelling the globe, have lived here ever since. After a fairly rudimentary education, I found work as an Architectural Designer and this became a life-long occupation. I started writing late in 2006.
The books I write are intended in the first instance to tell a good story and secondly – once the tale is told – to leave the reader with something to ponder. To this end, all my stories attempt to provide an original take on some commonly held belief, be it cultural, social or scientific.
Being a fan of both science fiction and classic murder mysteries, these tend to be common themes, with elements of both often combined in a single story.
As a person who likes to read a book in a single sitting, I limit each work to around forty-five or fifty thousand words. Unfashionable I know, but it's what I prefer.
