Produktbeschreibung
Assigned by the Evening Standard's editor to write a short community bulletin on a missing man, Leonard Hardy unwittingly stumbles upon a criminal enterprise of global proportions. The trail leads him into the dubious world of horse racing and gambling, where he painfully discovers the extreme lengths criminals will go to protect their illicit schemes. His own orderly and well-structured life falls apart after meeting a young enigmatic and immoral woman with deadly intentions. Further seeking to undermine Leonard's reputation and honour, the Evening Standard's newest employee Neil Flanagan interferes, taking more than a casual interest in Leonard's beautiful fiancé, Mary Worthington. Can Leonard preserve his respectability and save his relationship with her? What [AK1] he holds most dear to him is suddenly lost, leaving him clutching only fragments of his fragile sanity. Is there any way out; will the Chinese Tong come to his aid? For Leonard, one thing is certain; if he doesn't want to end up dead, he must out-think his enterprising and ruthless adversaries. Set in 1886, Wellington, New Zealand, this Victorian-era mystery will take you to the edge of your seat and keep you awake long into the night as Leonard scrambles to restore his name, his dignity and untangle a baffling criminal plot. A Questionable Virtue, is the second book in the Leonard Hardy series, and like the first, you will find yourself on Wellington's streets, captivated by unexpected twists and turns.

Paul W. Feenstra is a historical fiction novelist. His character-driven novels are meticulously researched and detailed and create a dramatic window into our chronicled and complex past.Set in beautiful and mysterious New Zealand, Paul's first novels, 'Boundary,' 'The Breath of God' and 'For Want of a Shilling', detail early colonial life and the controversial impact colonialism had on native Maori. Says Feenstra, "History is about the untold story, and writing historical fiction is a wonderful way to present the past in a compelling and entertaining way."The medieval 'Falls Ende' eBook series- 'The Oath', 'Courser' and 'The King', have proven to be equally successful. Originally written as three short stories, they are emotional and captivating and have been seamlessly compiled to create a full-length print book, 'Falls Ende - Primus'. Since then, Paul has completed a much-anticipated full-length sequel, 'Falls Ende - Secundus' a third, 'Falls Ende - Tertium and Falls Ende -Quartus, book four in the series.Gunpowder Green is a lighthearted collection of New Zealand short stories that chronicle New Zealand life as it once was. Humorous and even thought-provoking, each story is varied and highlights rural living, a diverse culture and a forgotten yet very familiar lifestyle.
