Crump worked for many years as a government deer-culler in areas of New Zealand native forest (termed "the bush"). He wrote his first novel, A Good Keen Man, in 1960, based on his experiences as a government hunter. It was a fictional account of a young hunter who has to suffer through a series of hunting partners who are often unsuitable for the job. This novel became one of the most popular in New Zealand history,

Reviews

[Rachel Horwell]

Great easy read, fun characters, real true blue Kiwi blokes and their antics. Good laughs

[Daren]

Easy quick Crump book - focuses on two characters and their continual run in with the local traffic cop who is determined to catch them out on their dodgy money making ventures.
Another one of his good ones.
