Private investigator Sergeant Frank Hardy a veteran of the New Zealand Land Wars of the 1860s, is kidnapped while on a case. He awakes in a dank, weta-infested underground cell reeking of chloroform, with no idea where he is or how he got there. When circumstances force him to risk an escape he must stay hidden while discovering the reason for his imprisonment. Meanwhile, his partner Constable Will Karira has a new client: the brother of a man Frank murdered in self-defence. Are the cases connected, or has something else from his past once more come back to bite him? When We People the Land continues the adventures of Frank Hardy and Mette Jensen that began in Not the Faintest Trace. The story picks up where the last one left off, but new events and characters make this book a standalone. **
