RETURN TO BLOOD by Michael Bennett

by | Jul 12, 2024

“Former Auckland detective Hana Westerman cannot shake her policing instincts when a cold case collides with a new body discovery…it’s deeply personal and there are more questions than answers.”

As Hana Westerman, former employee of the Auckland Criminal Investigation Branch, comes to terms with her personal crisis, her sharpened senses piece together the connections between her school friend’s murder and a fresh body discovered in the same place on her home town rural beach.

Hana places herself at risk when she takes the law into her own hands. Her curiosity cannot be satisfied when there are more questions than answers.

It’s refreshing to delve into the pages of fiction that blends the unique Maori cultural practices and identity of New Zealand through Hana’s lens of life.

Perfect holiday read.
