| Whakarāpopototanga: | The story is centered around Ned Poindexter and his sister Prudence. The setting is the fictitious town of Klynham in the early fifties. The crimes are chicken stealing and murder. Herbert Salter is the Scarecrow, magician, murderer, hypnotist and sex maniac. He insinuates himself into the heart of the town, somewhere between the pub and the funeral parlour. As Slater eliminates victims in order to get to Prudence, her brother Ned sets out to find the chicken thief. The 2 stories come together and the siblings must recognise evil for what it is when everyone around them embraces it. |
