Silent Vigil John Chudley

A brooding, dormant volcano which rose from the Waitemata Harbour in Auckland, New Zealand, six hundred years ago, holds a compelling fascination for a family of British tourists, leading to their unlocking a haunting mystery of suspense, romance and recent history.

Many of the events take place in well-known tourist areas which will bring back fond memories to those who have visited New Zealand. Vividly described, the scenes will whet the appetite of those intending visiting. Local characters from a variety of backgrounds provide interest and colour. Accompanying children add their perspective and play an integral role in the unfolding drama.
