Matt Francis is an Australian based academic with a love of Vanuatu and the Pacific. He has spent the last two decades researching and writing about this part of the world. Matt Francis began his career working for an international aid agency and has undertaken development-based work across Asia and the Pacific. In this, his first crime novel, Matt Francis introduces Senior Constable George Wong and Probationary Constable Jayline Oli of the Vanuatu Police Force as they travel from one end of Port Vila to the other in Port Vila’s most decrepit and unsafe taxi-van.
