It was one for the books when a Blenheim District Court jailer found cannabis resin in the spine of a thriller he had been asked to give a P supplier in the holding cells.
Constable Michelle Stagg of Blenheim said a man asked the jailer to give the book to Dallas Edward Oran Shave, who was being held in custody at the courthouse after admitting possession of methamphetamine for supply.
The book was actually two books in one: the thrillers Edge of Reason and Pay the Devil, by Jack Higgins.
The jailer found the resin during a routine check of items for prisoners, Miss Stagg said.
The resin was "reasonably obvious", she said.
A 59-year-old draughtsman was to appear in court today charged with possession of cannabis resin for supply.
