Synopsis

In "The Cassowary; What Chanced in the Cleft Mountains," Stanley Waterloo masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the intricate interplay between man and nature, set against the breathtaking backdrop of a remote mountainous region. The book unfolds as an adventure tinged with philosophical musings, showcasing Waterloo's vivid prose and keen observations of the natural world. Through rich descriptions and immersive storytelling, he captures the essence of the landscape while interrogating themes of survival, isolation, and the indomitable spirit of exploration framed within the late 19th-century American literary context, where nature often served as both a setting and a character in its own right. Waterloo, an American author embedded in the literary movements of his time, was known for his penchant for adventure and exploration, both of which permeate this work. His deep appreciation for nature's majesty and mystery likely stemmed from his own experiences with the wilderness, as he spent considerable time in various landscapes, fostering a connection that becomes palpable in the narrative. This context enriches the reader's understanding of the motivations behind the characters' journeys and the existential inquiries that emerge amidst their challenges. I highly recommend "The Cassowary" to readers who appreciate richly textured narratives that delve into the human condition intertwined with nature. This book will resonate with those who seek both the thrill of adventure and contemplative reflections on humanity's place in the world, making it an essential read for fans of American literature and nature writing alike.

    An unsolved murder investigation in 1970s Ireland from “one of Canada’s finest novelists.” — Ottawa Review of Books
    		 
    Shay Rynne grew up in the Corporation Flats — public housing — in Fenian Street, Dublin. He has always toyed with the idea of joining the Garda Síochána, the Irish police. But in the early 1970s, young fellows from the tenements of Dublin have not been welcomed in the police force. When his friend Rosaleen is killed and the case goes unsolved, Shay decides to put on the uniform of a Dublin garda and sets out to find the killer.
    		 
    The murder inquiry makes an enemy of the detective who failed in the first investigation. Shay knows Detective McCreevy is just waiting for the chance to get revenge. But the violent death of a prominent politician gives Shay the opportunity to prove himself, perhaps even be promoted. Shay works with the lead detective on the murder inquiry and his star is rising, until suspicion falls on a member of Shay’s own family. So Shay is off the case. Officially. Determined to clear his family name, his under-the-radar investigation takes him from an opulent mansion in Dublin to Hell’s Kitchen in New York. And his good friend Father Brennan Burke has some surprising contacts for Shay in the shadowy world of New York’s Irish mob.

    Near an isolated mansion lies a beautiful garden. 
    In this garden grow luscious flowers, shady trees...and a collection of precious “butterflies” - young women who have been kidnapped and intricately tattooed to resemble their namesakes. Overseeing it all is the Gardener, a brutal, twisted man obsessed with capturing and preserving his lovely specimens. 
    When the garden is discovered, a survivor is brought in for questioning. FBI agents Victor Hanoverian and Brandon Eddison are tasked with piecing together one of the most stomach-churning cases of their careers. But the girl, known only as Maya, proves to be a puzzle herself. 
    As her story twists and turns, slowly shedding light on life in the Butterfly Garden, Maya reveals old grudges, new saviors, and horrific tales of a man who’d go to any length to hold beauty captive. But the more she shares, the more the agents have to wonder what she’s still hiding...
