Sinopse

In "The Wailing Octopus," Harold L. Goodwin masterfully weaves a surreal tapestry that explores the intricate relationship between human emotions and the natural world. The narrative unfolds through a blend of vivid imagery and lyrical prose, inviting readers into a dream-like realm where an enigmatic cephalopod becomes a symbol of both beauty and despair. This striking synthesis of magical realism with ecological themes reflects the environmental concerns and philosophical inquiries prevalent in contemporary literature, allowing readers to ponder the complexities of existence and interconnectivity. Harold L. Goodwin's background as a marine biologist profoundly informs his literary voice in this work. His passion for the ocean's mysteries and commitment to environmental advocacy resonate throughout the text, encouraging a deeper reflection on humanity's impact on marine life. Goodwin's unique perspective as a scientist and storyteller enables him to bridge the gap between empirical truth and imaginative exploration, contributing to a richer understanding of the narratives that shape our relationship with the ocean. For readers seeking a thought-provoking adventure that transcends the boundaries of genre, "The Wailing Octopus" is an essential addition to contemporary literature. Goodwin invites us to embrace our vulnerabilities and understand the profound connections between ourselves and the world, making it a compelling read for anyone fascinated by the interplay of emotion, nature, and narrative.

    Former sheriff Jules Clement returns in this new installment of the celebrated mystery series, set once again in the wild, strange, windy town of Blue Deer, Montana, where your neighbors or the tourists can be just as deadly as the weather 
     
     
     
    Jules Clement is back in Blue Deer, working as an archaeologist and private investigator. He's a mostly happy man: he's a new father, and he and his wife Caroline are building their dream house on an idyllic patch of river bottomland. But everything that can go wrong will, in terms of money, love, and murder. The horrible neighbors enlist Jules to spy on each other. The county hires him to find out if a road runs over some misplaced bodies in a long-abandoned potter's field. A former priest with a side hustle in extortion ends up very dead. A crew of Russians in fast cars is running amok through the Montana landscape. All this as an old nemesis returns, pulling Jules back to confront what he's been avoiding his entire life: the death of his father. 
     
     
     
    Published alongside newly reissued editions of the entire series, The River View is further proof that "you haven't been west in any meaningful sense until you've been to Blue Deer" (The New York Times).
