The Mereleigh Record Club Tour of New Zealand - Now Available in Softcover

Oct. 29, 2010 - PRLog -- Roy Vaughan writes a thrill-ride of a novel, The Mereleigh Record Club Tour of New Zealand, which takes an unlikely group of British rock-n-roll baby boomers and puts them smack dab in the middle of an international drug-smuggling operation.

Rick Foster is a middle-aged guy who enjoys his life as tour guide and owner of a New Zealand travel company. But a craving to bring back the good old days has Foster contact a group of Thames Valley, England friends from his heyday in the 60s. Known as the Mereleigh Record Club, these 60-somethings agree to meet and take a tour together.

But things go drastically wrong when they become unwilling targets of an international, dangerous drug smuggling gang.  Herewini Macdonald, a bold young New Zealand customs agent fast tracked for promotion, persuades the group to become part of a sting operation, but things get out of hand when lives are threatened.  Friendships within the group are put to the ultimate test and Foster’s in the precarious position of cooperating with the authorities and protecting his friends. As strange relationships between the good guys and bad develop, and each is left to wonder just who their true friends are.  

Vaughan delivers a fast-paced, bold story with an unlikely hero. With adept twists and turns, viscerally powerful narration and sharp dialogue, The Mereleigh Record Club Tour of New Zealand is a page-turner with punch and a satisfying, dramatic conclusion.
