Produktbeschreibung
Nineteenth Century Van Daimian sleuth, Caspian Hunter, is a colonial lawman deeply immersed in the life and crimes of Hobart Town, where convicts transported from Mother England form a majority of the population. Caspian and his decidedly unconventional associates are sworn to uphold the law where lawlessness is almost a way of life. But maintaining law and order is not a simple task, as Caspian records in his own words in this, his ongoing saga. Tasmania's history will never be the same. Vampires! The ignorant rant, as mysterious murder victims appear around Hobart Town's environs with inexplicable puncture marks to their throats. Anarchy threatens the island. It's 1858. Free settlers are arriving in greater numbers. Hobart Town is blessed with a beautiful deep-water harbour. The whalers arrive. Merchants thrive. The economy is prosperous, bringing with it enterprising ladies and all the riff-raff searching a better life. Meanwhile Caspian Hunter is under increasing pressure to solve this most bizarre mystery. Pressure from the governor down to the illiterate he has chosen to protect.
