About the Author

Peter Graham worked for thirty years in Hong Kong as a barrister before returning to New Zealand to pursue a career as a crime writer. His first book, Vile Crimes, about a notorious poisoning case in the 1880s, was praised by The New Zealand Herald as 'murderously good ... a pacy narrative and a study in pathological selfishness'. His quest to unearth the whole truth about Parker & Hulme has taken him around the world.
