After inheriting a farm on New Zealand's South Island, Lewis Harding tries his best to keep it running. The financially strapped farmer is forced to forage his new land for implements, eliciting the help of his son, Gary. But when they go too close to the entrance of an old deserted gold mine, catastrophe strikes in more ways then one. When Gary's older brother, Dr. Cecil Harding shows up at the farm, Nekenhalle, he discovers that his brother and father had gone missing. A spate of livestock mutilations plague the local area, forcing Dr. Harding, a veterinarian, to call in the help of the Australian Wilderness Society. Ironically, this coincides with their current investigation of culling by poison, because, according to Harding, the New Zealand livestock are dying of snakebites. Knowing that New Zealand does not have snakes, the Wilderness Society obtains the help of Scottish explorer, David Purdue, during a legal debate. Purdue and his associates, journalist Sam Cleave and historian Dr. Nina Gould, accompany the Wildlife Society under the pretense of making a documentary, while actually seeking the location of the Lost City. Similar poisonings in the remains of Nazi soldiers prompted Purdue's pursuit into the Lost City's secret, but Nekenhalle has a reputation for evil. Inside the bowels of the farm, the expedition party finds the source of the killings, but at the same time, they venture into a forbidden place they do not know the way out from ...

Crime, Shame and Reintegration is a contribution to general criminological theory. Its approach is as relevant to professional burglary as to episodic delinquency or white collar crime. Braithwaite argues that some societies have higher crime rates than others because of their different processes of shaming wrongdoing. Shaming can be counterproductive, making crime problems worse. But when shaming is done within a cultural context of respect for the offender, it can be an extraordinarily powerful, efficient and just form of social control. Braithwaite identifies the social conditions for such successful shaming. If his theory is right, radically different criminal justice policies are needed - a shift away from punitive social control toward greater emphasis on moralizing social control. This book will be of interest not only to criminologists and sociologists, but to those in law, public administration and politics who are concerned with social policy and social issues.
