Title: Secrets At Scorching Bay
Author: FOUNTAIN DAVID

Wordy, pedantic, introspective Child Psychologist, Alex Wilcox, is a virgin. As he turns 35, he thinks back heavily about his life to date and returns for a nostalgic holiday at Castlepoint – the scene of a wonderful childhood holiday.
What occurs on a fishing stroll up a local river pulls him into a web of theft and personal danger, and reconnects him to some of the intriguing children from his past. Thinking he could end up dead due to what is going on during his Castlepoint holiday, he writes an account of it to Michael – a young Maori boy he met at Castlepoint so long ago who is now a married teacher living in Scorching Bay, Wellington.
Alex wants someone he can trust to know his story in case he ends up dead. An artifact, found on a childhood walk with his father, deeply imbedded in a karaka tree, intertwines with a discovery of Aotearoa, and on
his present Castlepoint holiday, could mean murder.
Stories of Aotearoa’s past, Alex’s past, and Alex’s present intertwine to serve a intriguing story of life and death to an intelligent reader.
