n 1947 a young woman is found murdered on the slopes of Wellington's Mt Victoria. The events that follow create a frightening undertow of corruption, menace, lies and violence. In 1972 a woman in Sydney is blown to pieces by a letter bomb. A few days later her sister in Auckland receives a suspicious parcel at work. What is the link between the two crimes? Meanwhile, Catholics and Protestants jostle for power inside the New Zealand police force, and good cops and bad cops square off against each other. Ripping along at a breathless pace, Denis Edward's Miramar Morning bares the underbelly of New Zealand society in what were supposedly innocent times. Delving deeper into themes explored in Miramar Dog, this darkly humorous novel reminds us that the sins of the past may come back to haunt us at any time.
