Synopsis

In "Wessex," Charles G. Harper presents an evocative exploration of the picturesque English countryside, intertwining rich descriptions with a keen sense of local history and culture. The book is rendered in a lyrical style that captures the spirit of rural life in the fictional region crafted by Thomas Hardy. Harper's narrative blends both anecdotal and observational writing, creating a vivid tapestry of the landscapes, flora, and fauna, alongside the nuanced lives of its inhabitants. This work stands out within the context of late Victorian literature, showcasing a deep appreciation for nature while subtly critiquing the encroachment of industrialization on pastoral life. Charles G. Harper, a prominent travel writer and illustrator of the late 19th century, was deeply influenced by his love for England's scenic beauty and traditional ways of life. His experiences traversing the countryside, alongside his artistic background, provided him with a unique lens through which to document and celebrate the charm of Wessex. Harper's engagement with Hardy's themes and settings reflects his commitment to preserving the essence of English rural life during a period of rapid change. "Wessex" is a compelling read for anyone interested in the intersection of nature, literature, and history. Harper's engaging prose invites readers to experience the enchanting landscapes of Wessex, prompting reflection on the ongoing dialogue between humanity and the environment. This book is a must-have for those who appreciate intricately crafted literature that cherishes the pastoral legacy.

    It was supposed to be a relaxing vacation in a small town. Now, they're on the run from religious fanatics. 
    When five friends are invited to a religious celebration in a small, isolated town, they are initially showered by the townsfolk with gifts and attention. As the days go by, however, it becomes clear that the community is not as innocuous as it initially presented itself. Mysterious, robed figures violently beat people who express different opinions, strange rituals take place in the church at night, and armed gunmen patrol the town perimeters – all under Prophet Martin’s orders. 
    What was supposed to be a relaxing trip for the outsiders turns into a struggle for survival, with the entire town zealously following Prophet Martin’s command – to find and kill the sinners.

    Stewart "Hoagy" Hoag is thrilled after a meeting with his editor, Norma, where she predicts his new book is sure to establish him as the next great American author. But his happiness is short-lived when at his next meeting with Norma she asks for his help in discovering who is behind a series of increasingly threatening letters sent to her attention. 
     
     
     
    Norma herself is not overly concerned about the letters but her boyfriend, Detective Lieutenant Romaine Very of the NYPD, thinks the threat of violence against Norma should not be so easily dismissed. Very feels the combination of Hoagy's detective skills and knowledge of the underbelly of the publishing world make him the perfect person to investigate the matter. Plus, Hoagy is a friend he can trust to take care of the love of his life. Hoagy agrees if for nothing else than to ease the minds of two people he cares about very much. After all, this is likely to be nothing more than a dramatic gesture from a frustrated writer. 
     
     
     
    But as Hoagy and his trusty basset hound Lulu investigate, the threats move beyond the written word, making it clear that someone out there is determined to write a vicious ending to Norma's life. This is not the return to the literary world that Hoagy dreamed of, but he is determined to unravel the mystery before the author of these crimes gets the last word.
