A feared plantation labourer on Upolu, believed to send death in the night, opens a collection set across the Pacific: lagoon islands, Sydney waterfronts, convict-era memories and whaling grounds where a swordfish hunts alongside killer whales. Becke wrote from years spent trading and sailing among the islands.

Vivid, unsentimental stories of the old Pacific, written with first-hand knowledge. Download the free EPUB.
