Death on the Walk: An Amateur Sleuth Historical Mystery

By Wendy M. Wilson

A body plunging off a cliff, a new craze for pedestrianism and gambling, a constable willing to walk a gruelling ninety miles without stopping, 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 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.

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.
