Leonard Hardy, an enterprising but troubled junior reporter for the Evening Standard, is haunted by personal tragedy and driven by a relentless curiosity. When an unidentified body is discovered near his colonial cottage on Mount Victoria, Leonard's quest for the truth plunges him into a world of crime, corruption, and conspiracy.

The stakes increase when a mysterious stranger appears and he discovers how his beautiful Mae's fate becomes intertwined with his own. Caught between slavery, violence, and betrayal, Leonard must unravel the mystery before he becomes the next victim. Will he survive the perilous streets and expose the truth, or will the colony's secrets claim another life? Perfect for fans of historical fiction, crime thrillers, and atmospheric mysteries, "A Sinister Consequence" is an emotional, page-turning adventure into New Zealand's ominous past.
