Geoff Parkes' has written two books on rugby, but now he's written about a different type of ruckus.
His debut novel is a crime fiction, When The Deep Dark Bush Swallows You Whole, set in rural New Zealand in the 1980s.
In this eerie rural noir we meet rural communities where everybody knows one another...or think that they do.
Parkes, a rugby writer by trade, was raised in rural King Country. Now Melbourne based, his column, The Wrap, is published each Monday and over the past 12 years has become staple reading for code heads the world over.
