Sea snakes are washing up on New Zealand’s shores

The article mentions a few times that "there are no snakes in New Zealand." This reminded me of the short story titled "There are no snakes in Ireland" by Frederick Forsyth in his book No Comebacks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Comebacks

One of my favorite books of all time! For those who don't know, it's a collection of really great short stories with plot twists.

Mine too. My father is a huge fan of Forsyth, so I read his books growing up. My mother, on the other hand, is a big fan of Jeffrey Archer, so I ended up reading many of his books as well. I love the short stories with a twist in the tail but I haven't kept up with this genre. If it's not much to ask, do you have any suggestions of authors?
