Book description
Joe Barley, full-time English professor and part-time private
detective, is given a simple case: to track Jason Tyler and find proof
of his adultery. But as he's investigating, Barley stumbles across the
story of a missing manuscript containing writings by a young Ernest Hemingway.
What is Tyler's connection to the Hemingway papers? And why does
Tyler's wife insist that Barley stay on the case, long after he's come
up with the required evidence of Tyler's infidelity?
While these questions hang over Barley, his own life is complicated
by academic politics, and challenges to his monogamous relationship
with his longtime partner, Carole.
Set in Toronto, The Hemingway Caper is the second book in
the Joe Barley series. The first, The Kidnapping of Rosie
Dawn, won the prestigious Barry Award.
"light and amusing. A definite contender for the beach book
pile."
Eric Wright is the author of four detective series. The
first Charlie Salter book won the Arthur Ellis Award, the John Creasey
Award, and the City of Toronto Book Award. Wright has also written a
comic novel and an engaging memoir of growing up in working-class
London, England.
