  1. The godfather of contemporary NZ crime writing has brought back (the bestseller was published in 2012 locally) offbeat local hero Detective Sergeant Tito Ihaka. Thomas has been described as “Elmore Leonard on acid”.

  2. Set in New Zealand, written by the most famous crime writer in the country, featuring a Maori cop with a dubious reputation, this should satisfy the Bitter Lemon readers with a taste for the exotic.

3.”Inside Dope”, an earlier novel featuring Ihaka, won the inaugural Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Novel.

  1. Thomas on his hero: “Ihaka was originally born from a mix of influences, including Chandler’s Philip Marlowe – “a hero character who gave you an insight into his own psychological make-up, and his own depressions and concerns and self-loathing” – and formidable Maori rugby players and soldiers Thomas met growing up. “People you would love to have beside you if you were in the shit but on the other hand you would hate to have coming after you. And that’s the sort of character I wanted.”
