Product Description

Review

"Eric Wright is a wonderful writer with a deft, light touch. The plot hangs together, the characters come alive. There is humour and mystery and it is a pleasure to read." -Garrett Wilson, Independently Reviewed, Summer 2004 (20030606)

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.

This review is from: The Hemingway Caper: A Joe Barley Mystery (Paperback)

Toronto college politics and Hemingway's stint as a writer for THE TORONTO STAR figure in this wonderful novel, replete with Wright's keen observations of human foibles. Thoroughly enjoyable.
