"Nevwas's Gold" by Cliff RobertsYes siree...you've just gotta love this guy Nate....tough as nails on the outside but a real marshmallow on the inside.  As soon as I started reading "Navwas's Gold" by talented and street-smart Author Cliff Roberts I was hooked.  He writes with humor, an enjoyable hint of sarcasm, a down-to-earth quality, and a style that is very magnetic which is sure to grab the attention of those who enjoy mystery thrillers.Ironsides comes to mind when I mentally picture Nate Navwas...a 6'5' man weighing in at over three hundred pounds is bound to be intimidating in his own right even if he is disabled. He has the uncanny knack of being in the wrong place at right time or vice versa...which ever one works to his advantage...financial advantage that is.  Fate has it in for Nate one way or the other but then...how many guys get financially rewarded for helping to solve crimes when they aren't even trying? Nate does...and in this instance when he's actually looking to solve a crime involving some shipwrecked gold...this latest case could pay off big time!  Along with his capable sidekick Detective Mason, the two of them are like the odd couple at best or a squawking couple at worst, who apparently have a fatal attraction to each other. Either way, these two are inseparable and one of the most likeable couples you'll ever encounter as they banter away and tease each other mercilessly while working night and day to solve the crime at hand.Nate manages to step in "it" on a regular basis. Despite the chagrin and warning of Mason's police Captain to stay away from Nate whom he abhors, Mason refuses to heed his advice and is stepping in "it", along with his sidekick Nate on a regular basis as well. Mason the Detective and would-be-detective Nate... with his nose for sniffing out a crime manage to capture the attention and involve both the Mob and the Police Department.  Not only that...these events provide great fodder for Nate's fictional novel writing endeavors. But then...why stick with fiction when there is so much excitement happening in the real world?  Therefore, I repeat...you just gotta love this guy Nate because he sure knows how to get into trouble with a capital T.  Hey according to Nate, if you've got a sixth sense, you might as well use it..."no harm, no foul"!"Navwas's Gold" is my first encounter with Author Cliff Roberts and if I have anything to say about it, it won't be my last!Inspirational Author & Book Reviewer ~ Dolores AyotteI'm Not Perfect and It's Okay
