Hear Geoff in conversation at the library for his brand-new book!
The First Law of the Bush is Geoff Parkes’ new rural noir set in New Zealand’s rugged King Country.
A year after Bill Dickerson fell to his death on a worksite, his widow has received no explanation about what happened.
She hires Ryan Bradley, who has just returned to the remote town of Nashville as a lawyer, to get answers. Was it suicide? An accident? Or murder? In small towns, nothing is quite what it seems.
