Description: Albatross blue is a fascinating tale of piracy, treasure and murder in the Pacific. Set within latitude forty-four, the Chatham Islands of the 70s and a century earlier, it counterpoints the lost Moriori - seeking a more peaceful kind of nationhood - with a story of modern-day villiany. Its insights into the motivation of people, with questions about the nature of government, and how a civilisation evolves, are woven into a beautifully-crafted whodunnit with a superb ending.
Notes: Novel.
