Four friends enter the Grand Canyon expecting adventure, not a fight for survival.
Ryan and Emma Ormond hope the trip might save their failing marriage. Daniel and Sophie Ross carry troubles of their own. For a few days, the Colorado delivers exactly what they came for: white water, towering canyon walls and a welcome escape from real life.
Then Emma's camera captures a figure where nobody should be.
A footprint. A warm fire. Evidence that someone is moving through the canyon around them.
Before they can find out who, a devastating flash flood destroys their camp, washes away their kayaks and leaves Daniel badly injured. Trapped deep in the canyon, their only option is to climb out.
But as they struggle through the wilderness, it becomes clear they are not alone. Someone is watching them. Someone knows the canyon's hidden routes and seems determined to influence every choice they make.
Haunted by the memory of the one person he couldn't save, Ryan must now lead three others to safety.
If the canyon lets them leave.

Suddenly, Gabi is running for his life through Rio's crowded streets, sun-drenched beaches and hillside communities.

Filled with danger, humour, friendship and heart, The Boy Who Stole Rio is a fast-paced adventure about an ordinary boy caught in extraordinary circumstances.

An empty boat drifts on calm water in the Marlborough Sounds.
Its owner, Alan Mercer, has vanished.

With every answer uncovering new questions, Jim discovers that some people will do anything to keep the past hidden.
Set among the harbours, bush-clad hills and secluded settlements of the Marlborough Sounds, The Quiet Water is an atmospheric crime mystery filled with authentic Kiwi characters, dry humour and a compelling puzzle.
