Condition: Bueno. : En la Nueva Zelanda de los años 30, Klynham es una pequeña y tranquila ciudad. Hasta la llegada del Espantapájaros, un gigante mago que se hace amigo del enterrador. A partir de entonces, se sucederán casos cada vez más graves: robos de gallinas, muertes sospechosas, desapariciones, incendios, violaciones y asesinatos. Crónica llena de velocidad, pero también novela negra, L'Épouvantail posee el encanto venenoso de La noche del cazador. Este libro encantador es obra de un neozelandés que escribió poco y permaneció desconocido en su propio país.

Ronald Hugh Morrieson was a New Zealand writer in the vernacular whose short stories and novels were only widely appreciated after his death. Came a Hot Friday was published during Morrieson's lifetime, and received favourable reviews. The story of 'two smart spielers who have a trick to play on the local bookmaker' becomes a tale of 'arson, bashing, murder, sex, crown-and-anchor parties in a lonely woodshed and hair-raising midnight adventures along the river with the fantastic Te Whakinga Kid.' A 1985 film adaption proved to be one of the most successful New Zealand feature films of the 1980s.
