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.

Born and raised in rural New Zealand, Geoff Parkes has written a weekly opinion column for The Roar, Australia’s leading on-line sports website for 12 years. He is the author of two crime novels.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing on the day.
