In the 1960's Eric Amberley found what was thought to be the remains of a Moa Hunter, but others suspect the bones are older than that, especially when other burials spread throughout the world so a similiar burial pattern.

In Christchurch in 1999, on the eve of the Millenium, Joe Chen is sent to NZ to investigate the find a little closer.

What happens is a story that unravels in the space of three months, when Joe finds Eric, they find Eric's long lost niece, May who is blind and mentally challenged and Mary, a friend of Joe's from the Israeli dig he was on all become involved in very strange happenings.

This book is a page turner, but the pace of the story changed up a gear when Chloe, the daughter of the people Mary lives with, and their friend and Joe's boss at the Christchurch Museum are abducted. The family and the strange quartet of Eric, May, Joe and Mary, find themselves in a race against time, and following the guidance of the blind woman who can walk without a stick they track down and find the culprits.

The only disappointment is that it didn't clearly tie in with the start of the story, in fact it felt rather abstract what the bones on the beach had to do with the final scene, but if you are careful, you will see it.
