Synopsis

 

Amachamee Island is abuzz.

 

Calista the Sandhill Crane, internationally acclaimed catwalk model and high society icon, has been arrested...

 

...but one bird’s misery is another’s good fortune.

 

Who could have possibly imagined that this one, relatively routine case, would re-open a three month old investigation, that had baffled even Peli the Pelican and Mr Egret, private investigators extraordinaire?

 

And with the clock ticking the intrepid duo embark on a frantic race throughout Sarasota County following a series of fiendish clues in an attempt to solve the Case of the Curious Crane and find the ultimate prize.

 

“A well-conceived, well-written page turner...A thoroughly delightful read.”

 

Jeanne Dubi, President, Sarasota Audubon Society

 

“You don't have to be a bird enthusiast to enjoy this book...This fun story, cleverly links the natural behavior traits of the individual bird species with the anthropomorphic personalities that they portray.”

 

Jon Thaxton, "bird enthusiast"

and Sarasota County Commissioner
