Inside the Black Horse by Ray Berard

An insight into a world more people see and know than most New Zealander’s would like to admit. This novel is set in the world of gangs and drugs, with the Police and a private investigator and a failing corporate businessman thrown into the mix.

There are strong women characters, good descriptions of life in Rotorua, Auckland and rural Bay of Plenty. A liberal sprinkling of surprising human relationships is added. There is more than one “dark night of the soul” happening to more than one character. All this is seasoned with plenty of action in a robbery that gets in the way of a drug delivery and the unconnected threads that need to be drawn together to work it all out. It is well written, making it a good read, showing many of us slices of lives we can only imagine, and how easy it is to get there for those who do.
