Clave

by W W GOSS

Max Stonecrop, a venture capitalist turned courier, and Federica Ratzow—physician, polyglot, and Stonecrop’s lover—find themselves engaged in an escalating imbroglio that starts with a comedic Swiss-based counterfeit cheese scandal and leads to illegal electronic-waste trade and sex trafficking. Complications compound as Stonecrop deals with the unexpected arrival in Zürich of his daughters and rumors about a man Stonecrop had murdered in Maputo.

About the author

Wayne Goss, a meme-less novelist lacking both best sellers and literary awards, writes to entertain and delight friends, family, and readers. Misadventures in business, philosophy, dance, climbing, and skiing color his oeuvre. He loves Shakespeare, 5.12, and wicked-fast snow; it drives him nuts to not know a dozen languages. He and his wonderful wife share a modest home a block from the beach in Manzanita, Oregon.
