"The 19th century New Zealand setting, the rich character development, the harkening back to so much in the history of the British Empire -- all these make for a story one simply cannot put down." When Sergeant Frank Hardy awakes in a remote underground prison in the bush with no memory of how he got there, he must search his past for clues. The answer is buried in his history and he will have to dig it up before he can be free. The story began in The Sergeant Frank Hardy Mysteries: Book One, Not the Faintest Trace which brought together Sergeant Hardy and Danish Immigrant Mette Jensen during the search for two missing Danish men. An event from the past returned to complicate Hardy's life and as people start to die his own life is threatened.

A Tale of Two Cities (1859) is the second historical novel by Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. It depicts the plight of the French proletariat under the brutal oppression of t+E3he French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, and the corresponding savage brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events, most notably Charles Darnay, a French once-aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Sydney Carton, a dissipated English barrister who endeavours to redeem his ill-spent life out of love for Darnay's wife, Lucie Manette.
