Travel to Auckland Booktrail style with Detective Buchanan
The book follows Detective Matt Buchanan and his career spanning more than a twenty years in the Orewa district of New Zealand. This is not your normal police career however: child sexual abuse, murder, rape, making porn and snuff films to mention but a few things . The author writes what he knows – he’s known of similar horrors as he also worked as a detective in the NZ Criminal Investigation Branch.
A strong sense of the New Zealand setting comes through, which makes this both unique and compelling for readers not in that country. You get a good picture of the NZ justice system and the way victims are dealt with and what happens after a case.You get a very real insight into the stresses that come with criminal investigations and affect all involved long after the actual crime has been committed.
