    About this series

    A body plunging off a cliff, a new craze for pedestrianism or race-walking with gambling, a constable willing to make a gruelling ninety miles through the tree-covered ranges without a break, and a testing undercover assignment for Mr. Hardy.

    Napier to The Hot Lakes, New Zealand, 1882: When a race walking champion is forced off a cliff to his death, and his fellow race-walkers are all suspects, Mr. Hardy and Constable Foster go undercover in a race set up by the constabulary to find the killer. An accident-filled race walk to The Hot Lakes leads to a showdown in the bubbling mud and geysers in the centre of New Zealand's North Island.

    A fast-paced, action-filled addition to the Mr. Hardy Investigates series.

      A historic Bowie knife. A mysterious major who wants the knife. The body of a young woman in a red coat found deep in the bush. And a chance for retired coachman James Hardy to reinvent himself in a new country. New Zealand 1881: After a reclusive Maori on the run from the police leaps onto the back of his spring buggy, retired coachman JAMES HARDY discovers he has stumbled into a murder scene. While tracking a gang of lumber thieves, police have found the body of a young housemaid beside a log. The local hermit is hunched over the corpse clutching a knife with ties to the past, but did he do it? And why does he claim he took the knife for the major? When the inspector in charge of the case asks Hardy for assistance, in the mistaken belief that he is a retired Scotland Yard detective, he agrees. He's a great listener, he's kept up with crime in the English broadsheets, he's an expert cryptic crossword solver, and he can drive a coach better than anyone he's met; he's confident he can catch the person who used the famous knife to kill Rosie. But he'll need help from his intrepid American wife, Beatrice, and a young constable recently arrived from Ireland. For readers who enjoy historical mysteries with unusual settings and a cast of likeable characters, tossed with snippets of history. History and mystery: an unbeatable blend.

      A spirit photograph. A camera nicknamed a detective in a box. A Scandinavian boy who speaks only Maori. A body floating in the marshes north of Napier. And a new opportunity for James Hardy to exercise his mind. New Zealand 1882: When Constable Foster catches a young, blond boy who runs with a gang of Maori boys, he discovers he speaks only Maori, even though he is clearly Scandinavian. Inspector Scully, busy with a body that has recently been discovered in the marshes of the lagoon north of Napier, asks James Hardy to investigate. The trail leads back to the Seventy Mile Bush, where a broken family shows no interest a missing child. But will it also lead back to the body in the swamp? The Mr. Hardy Investigates series is a spinoff of The Sergeant Frank Hardy Mysteries.
