Perky Debbie McWard, a New Zealand adventure travel guide, dodges two former lovers, flirts with a hesitant widower, copes with a raucous investigative reporter, deals with a murder, encounters an indicted Yugoslavian war criminal, and thwarts his rekindling of the Balkan wars in author Norm Aspen's amazingly woven novel, Kiwi on a Cloud. Romances give way to fear, as a tourist is murdered and another is falsely blamed. Debbie discovers that an indicted Yugoslavian war criminal, Ratac "the Butcher" Bymarovitch, is disguised and hiding among her trampers. But among six possible suspects, who?
The most terrifying question is why, of all the tours in the world, one of the world's most hunted criminals specifically sought out Debbie's tour group in which to hide, plot, and murder.
Kiwi on a Cloud is an entertaining fictional mystery where an investigative journalist, a New Zealand adventure travel guide and her friends attempt to expose a disguised, wanted, Balkan war criminal hidden among her tourists.
