Black Sands & Toitoi (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780473449384)

To escape winter blues, three Canadian ladies holiday in New Zealand. Offsetting the air-fare they stay at a cheap but quaint West Coast hotel and befriend local artists. Socialising at a pub they cross paths with a motorcycle gang. Unsuspecting they become involved in a drug network that has its beginnings on the edge of the Gobi Desert, continues through Hong Kong to the South Pacific islands. This is an international story that links Hong Kong Triads with New Zealand gangs and China's attempts to colonize the South Pacific with economic stealth. The Cook Islands with its maritime zone of two million square kilometres is a prime target. With naval bases in Pago Pago and Guam, America seeks the intervention of New Zealand the Islands' protector.The tribes of Rarotonga play an integral part in the final solution as does a black and white collie dog named Lady.
