Matiu Douglas has a bone tiki he stole from a tangi. His father's important new client wants it. Badly. And he has some very nasty friends. When Mat is forced to flee for his life, an unexpected meeting with a girl called Pania sets his world spinning. Suddenly he's running through the bush with a girl-clown, a dog who is way too human, and a long-dead warrior. Fearful creatures from legend are rising up around him, and Mat faces a terrifying ordeal. And there is nowhere left to hide ...not even in another world. A breathtaking adventure set in two parallel New Zealands, from exciting new author David Hair.
David Hair lives in Wellington. The Bone Tiki was his first novel, and begins a cycle of novels that begin in his native Hawkes Bay and are set in two parallel New Zealands.
