Provided they do not occupy a seat. From the Far North to the West Coast, meet three authors of gripping crime thrillers in distinctly NZ settings: Zoe Rankin (The Vanishing Place), Chris Blake (Softly Calls the Devil) and Catherine Lea (The Deeper the Dead). What makes these isolated towns in some of NZ's most remote spots such fertile ground for these crime writers? Which unique characteristics of their settings did they draw upon to create their atmospheric and menacing works?
