Condizione: Very Good. : En la víspera del día de San Patricio de 1882, la comunidad irlandesa de Christchurch se prepara para dar la bienvenida al mejor artista irlandés de la época: el 'Dancing Man'. Ese mismo día, el inspector de policía O'Rorke es invitado a una elegante cena. A medida que él y la cautivadora Sra. Martin se sienten atraídos el uno por el otro, deben aceptar la desaprobación de la sociedad y la aparición de secretos del pasado que amenazan no solo con arruinar su reputación y arruinar su carrera, sino también con poner en peligro sus vidas. 'The Dancing Man' sigue la carrera del inspector O'Rorke, y es intrincado en la trama, cambiando en tiempo y lugar entre Christchurch en 1882, Ciudad del Cabo en 1870, la Guerra de Crimea, la Guerra Civil estadounidense y el Levantamiento Feniano irlandés. Es una historia sobre la lealtad y el amor, la libertad sexual y la futilidad de intentar evadir la implacable resaca de los acontecimientos pasados.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the aftermath of the invasion of Parihaka in November 1881, Inspector Patrick O'Rorke is appointed by the government to investigate allegations of police brutality laid by the influential Maori politician Hoani Te Pae. Before he leaves Christchurch for Wellington to begin, O'Rorke is called to the house of the well-to-do Albert Howard, following the seemingly routine theft of a valuable item from his collection. Undeterred by the hostility and obstruction of the Wellington police to his Parihaka investigation, and the fact that he finds himself increasingly becoming a pawn in a battle between two warring political factions, O'Rorke is determined to get to the bottom of the incident. And when Albert Howard is murdered, he uncovers a chilling link between the two enquiries. Edmund Bohan's Inspector O'Rorke novel is set, like the others, in a vividly re-created colonial New Zealand. A skillfully woven blend of fact and fiction, it takes its protagonist from an elegant Thorndon mansion to the fetid slums of Ghuznee Street, from a downtown bordello to the houses of Parliament in a compellingly told tale of political and personal intrigue.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. When a distinguished New Zealand businessman is murdered in London, Detective Inspector O'Rorke is once again called in by Scotland Yard to help find the killer. But O'Rorke is soon enmeshed in the secrets of the past involving the chaos of the Crimean War thirty-four years previously and the murderous activities of the young revolutionaries who called themselves the Society of the White Rose. The dramatic events of those days shaped the lives and determined the fates of all who survived and now, the Society of the White Rose, more powerful than ever, is led by two of O'Rorke's most unforgiving and ruthless enemies. Bogdan Lynskey and Count Zoltan Bathory have returned to London not only to assassinate the Austrian General Carl-Heinz Lorenz but to finally destroy O'Rorke himself. As O'Rorke tries to focus on the task at hand, whispers from the past grow louder, the circles of intrigue continue to swirl and alliances splinter, leading him to distrust even those who seem to be his closest colleagues. With danger now threatening his very household, O'Rorke's longed-for return to New Zealand becomes increasingly urgent. In this, the eighth volume in the Detective Inspector O'Rorke series, it is the summer of 1888. As O'Rorke prepares to leave London to return to New Zealand, Crimean War 'ghosts' of both friends and enemies materialise and as circles of intrigue and terror spread, O'Rorke begins to distrust even his closest allies.
