Book excerpt: Karaka Beach, New Zealand. April 1995. A body washes up on the shore of a remote North Island village. Theories swirl among the residents as to its origin. Constable John Chapman and detective Sheryl Watts are assigned to the case. When it becomes clear that the body represents more than a simple death at sea, the residents of Karaka Beach, along with three refugees from the capital city, find themselves in the midst of an unprecedented cataclysm. Torn between remaining the same or adapting to survive, an insidious voice arises from the confusion, pulling in those who believe their island nation is under existential threat. Karaka Beach sits at the crest of a wave which threatens to change the country forever. Everyone is forced to answer a simple question: how isolated do we really want to be?
