Smoke in the Hills

Richard Steele’s first book, Ghosts in the Valley, described the mayhem when Tony Price and his family confronted a shady character on a neighbouring farm. His second, Mist in the Valley, was a tale of rural co-operation in the face of missing stock and vanishing people.

Now Tony Price finds that rescuing stranded canoeists on the Whanganui River, and a chance sighting of an elusive man dressed all in green, lead to nefarious events on the Price family’s land. Once more the residents in this isolated valley consider taking the law into their own hands
