Sinopse

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.

    Let bestselling author T.A. Williams whisk you away to gorgeous Tuscany in this cozy murder mystery featuring a retired DCI and his loyal companion, Oscar. 🐶 It really is murder in paradise! 
    An iconic bridge... 🌉 
    Private investigator, Dan Armstrong, lives and works in Florence and knows the world famous Ponte Vecchio well. Usually a magnet for tourists, on this occasion it is the scene of an unexplained death, and Dan finds himself involved in the intriguing case. 
    An uncompromising man... 😠 
    Dan quickly discovers that the victim, an elderly jeweller, was every bit as hard as the diamonds he sold in his shop on the bridge. Few people liked him, not even his adult children, and his business dealings look murkier than the waters of the River Arno. Dan suspects more secrets lie hidden…perhaps inside the massive safe in the old man's luxury villa… 
    A complex case. 💎🔍 
    As the evidence begins to mount up, so too do the suspects with their different motives. With a fortune in gold bullion and precious stones involved, Dan thinks the only way to catch the killer is to lay a trap, but might he be caught in the killer’s sights? Fortunately, he has Oscar, his canine wingman at his side, always eager to prove that he's as good as gold. 🐶 
    Can Dan and Oscar sniff out the killer’s tracks or will this case be a bridge too far?
