    A Game Ranger's Journey.
    From the kitchen of his family's Italian restaurant in Johannesburg to the front lines of Africa's most dangerous anti-poaching operations, this is the story of a man who always belonged to the wild.

    Raised on Sicilian family stories and the constant bustle of his father's Italian restaurant in the heart of Johannesburg, Mario Cesare grew up rooted in tradition, but his heart was elsewhere. From an early age, he was drawn to open spaces and the untamed edges of the world beyond the city. Nature was never a passing fascination; it was a calling that refused to be ignored.
    That calling led him deep into South Africa's most prestigious game reserves (Thornybush, Mala Mala, Olifants) where beauty and brutality exist side by side. As a game ranger on the front lines of conservation, Mario faced the grim realities behind Africa's wildlife tourism: armed poachers, mutilated animals, and the constant emotional toll of protecting what cannot protect itself.
    From rescuing orphaned rhino calves beside their poached mothers to tracking dangerous criminals with his trusted K9 partner, Saba, Mario's journey is one of courage, heartbreak, and unwavering commitment.
    This is not a romanticised tale of the bush, but a raw, honest account of what it truly means to live the life of a game ranger in South Africa. Email Solid Gold · For links to buy this book

    Trace | Ryan Blumenthal [read by Matthew Dalton]
    2026/07/02
    Case Studies of a Forensic Pathologist in Africa.
    Forensic pathologist Ryan Blumenthal calls the mortuary his office.
    He will make your hair stand on end as he describes the strange death scenes, rare murder cases and a range of unnatural deaths that are part of his world.
    Forensic pathologist Ryan Blumenthal works in a world few people are ever exposed to . . . the mortuary. He spends his days among the dead, uncovering how they died and whether a crime was committed.
    To date, he has performed over 13 000 autopsies.
    In Trace, Ryan takes readers behind the scenes of some of the strange death scenes he has attended, such as a shallow grave beside a river where a body was found with an amputated finger. He also shares rare and unusual cases, including a man who may have died from autoerotic asphyxia and a suspected poisoning that turned out to be a shooting. His work has brought him face to face with many kinds of unnatural deaths, including those caused by lightning strikes, wild animals, muti killings, and even a solitary wasp sting.
    Through it all, Ryan sees himself as a voice for the voiceless, striving to bring justice to the dead and truth to their loved ones. Email Solid Gold · For links to buy this book

    Drift Happens | Nkululeko Khumalo [read by Dineo Langa]

    Drift happens.

    Not because leaders lack intelligence. Not because the strategy was flawed. But because execution decays quietly under the weight of competing priorities, unclear ownership, and fragmented attention.

    Ethiopian Airlines sustained commercial focus through five government transitions to become Africa's most profitable carrier. Dangote built pan-African cement capacity while competitors collapsed. Rwanda's tax-to-GDP ratio climbed from 9.5% to 13% of GDP within six years.

    They didn't try harder. They designed differently.

    Focus is a design choice. Most organisations have, unknowingly, designed for drift.

    FOCUS5 is a disciplined system built from what actually works. Not theory, but documented practice from organisations that couldn't afford to let strategy fade.

    Five moves that protect attention instead of fragmenting it.

    FRAME.

    OWN.

    CADENCE.

    UNBLOCK.

    SUSTAIN.

    If you've wondered why strong strategies stall after strong starts, why teams remain busy but progress slows, why accountability erodes without anyone noticing, or why execution relies on heroic effort that can't be sustained, this book, Drift Happens, written by Nkululeko Khumalo, shows where the real leverage sits.

    Because strategy doesn't fail all at once. It drifts.

    And drift is preventable. Connect with Nkululeko on LinkedIn · Book Dineo to narrate your audiobook · Email Solid Gold · For links to buy this book

    Welcome to Hazelmere... an idyllic English village. Or is it?

    After Abby Fields is disastrously fired from her London firm, she applies for a stable hand job at Langdon House Estate in the village of Hazelmere. But when she arrives for the interview, the estate’s in chaos.

    Lord Langdon has died and his estranged sons have arrived for the reading of the will. Handsome farm manager Oliver offers her temporary work that might become permanent depending on who inherits and what they decide to do with the estate.

    Will it be sour Stuart or flirty Josh? The brothers have only one thing in common – they hate each other.

    Stuart is a nitpicking micromanager of note. Josh seems a better choice, but there’s an uneasy moment when he makes a pass at Abby.

    After the will is read, hidden motives become clear. The new heir is not the person Abby believed him to be, and the estate is headed for destruction.

    And then, there’s a murder...

    Sucked into the ensuing chaos, Abby must fight to clear her name and uncover the real killer’s identity, while dealing with a rogue donkey, a police detective who keeps arresting the wrong people, and her own fears of getting back in the saddle.

    "Can she juggle all these balls without smashing any of them?

    Her future, and the estate’s, depends on it."

    If you like horses, humor, out of control donkeys and captivating whodunits, you'll love Mount Up for Murder. One click will take you straight to Hazelmere. Email Solid Gold · For links to buy this book
