{ "item_title" : "The Mā", "item_author" : [" Janus Lucky "], "item_description" : "She hunted the face for months. The day she finally caught it on film, the death threat arrived.Wellington, January 2023. A young Māori plumber is shot dead on a Naenae roadside, and the news files it under gang business. Tiina Salo knows better. The Finnish-born photojournalist has spent months hunting a single face - Aunty Kino, a master criminal who hides behind a moko kauae she has no right to wear. Now Tiina has her. On film. Two weeks before her first solo exhibition opens, and a threat sitting on her phone before the prints are dry.She also has a Finnish family she'd rather keep at arm's length.Pekka Wall has flown in from England for what was meant to be a holiday - his husband Tuomas, their five-year-old twins, wine on the deck at Days Bay, the in-laws, the lot. Tuomas's writing has stalled. Pekka is carrying a diagnosis he hasn't told a living soul. Then a name surfaces on the evening news that he was never meant to hear, and the holiday is over before it has begun.What he's walked into is a city built on a drug economy, a police force with a leak it can't trace, a Colombian yacht in the harbour, and a killer wearing someone else's culture as a mask. By the time Pekka understands the shape of what Tiina found, he's running out of time on more than one clock.The Māori Murders - Death of Dreams is the latest novel in the Pekka Wall series: Nordic Noir relocated to the far side of the world, where the wind is sharper, the corruption runs through every shade, and a queer Finnish family sits at the unlikely centre of a killer's reckoning.For readers of Jo Nesb , Henning Mankell and Antti Tuomainen - and anyone who likes their crime with cultural bite, Finnish bluntness, and an antagonist who lingers long after the last page.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/06/728/520/1067285202_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "23.00", "online_price" : "23.00", "our_price" : "23.00", "club_price" : "23.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
