Synopsis

A small parcel travels halfway across the world, reaching a desk on a Pacific island where it waits for someone to return. Part One: Nobody on the islands could say they saw him arrive, or when, and, afterwards, none of them could say they saw him go either, and that’s what made the chief of police pretty fed up during his investigation. Mid 1970s: A young pakeha – white man – with a burdened past appears on Tonga. The wayfarer’s sojourn in the region sees him joining the crew on a shark-fishing boat; he faces situations that challenge his past and his hidden talents; he falls in love; a sea pinnacle off the coast captivates him, until that fateful day… Part Two: The author visits the Himalaya of Nepal several times between 1992 and 2008; he learns of some apparently unrelated and unresolved events that occurred over two decades previously, and encounters some intriguing people, including the enigmatic storyteller, Cullen. Part Three: Cullen relates his story of a private Himalayan expedition, the events leading up to it, its dramatic culmination and the repercussions. Exactly who the wandering pakeha and Cullen are remains a question, though discerning readers might link the fleeting clues that sprinkle the book, and reach their conclusions. ….Then the small parcel is opened. “This very human true-life drama weaves a story of adventure, love and tragedy, and the author toys with and marries these elements in his tantalising style.” - Vanessa Finaughty
