About this ebook
Luke has had more than his fair share of bad luck. Orphaned at a young age and later due to a misunderstanding expelled from his missionary foster family, he is trying to make his own way as a native policeman in rapidly changing colonial New Zealand.
On board ship returning from prisoner escort duties to van Diemen’s land he is wrongfully accused of murdering his former foster sister’s husband. The jury accepts the lies of his European accuser, and he is found guilty and sentenced to death.
With only a few days left before his public execution will he be able to escape the hangman and find a way to clear his name, take revenge on his false accuser, and find happiness with the young woman he loves?

Terry Carson is a full-time writer and small publisher who lives in New Zealand. He spent most of his working life as a lawyer until he decided that there had to be a better life outside of the profession. So many of his former colleagues asked him how he managed to escape his former hectic and stressful legal life that he decided he had better write a book about how to do it. Terry has also written non-fiction books about the Family Court, old historic Courthouses, and New Zealand's most sensational early murder trial. His keen interest in his country's early colonial history has led to his first crime novel, An Unjust Death, which combines themes of early New Zealand colonial history and the law.
