Books Aloud - Softly Calls the Devil Author Chris Blake Soflty Calls the Devil is a dark gripping intricate crime thriller set on the South Island's wild and wooly remote West Coast. Catherine talks with the talented author Chris Blake on how he came up with the book, does his real job as a Detective Senior Sergeant influence his work and where do these dark characters come from? This book is a great read. Listen in to what Chris has to say in this interview. About Softly Calls the Devil : Things are going well for Matt Buchanan. After some hard times, life is peaceful as sole-charge constable for the small, isolated settlement of Haast on New Zealand's wild West Coast. He's made friends among the locals, won their trust. He keeps their little world safe. He's working in spectacular surroundings - the fierce Tasman Sea, the dense beech forest, the dark, cold swamps, the snowy Southern Alps. But then his much-loved predecessor, Gus, is discovered beside a river with a bullet through his head. He'd been looking into a disturbing murder-suicide from 1978: the parents' bodies were found, but not their daughter's. Tensions rise, there are more deaths, people are threatened, memories surface of a cult that went horribly wrong. Matt finds himself pursuing a case that's well outside his remit, taking him to places he'd rather not revisit. Having long shunned his own demons, he is desperate not to face them again, but when confronted by the devil himself, he must take action, rediscover something of the person he was - for his own sake and to save those he loves.
