Bill Craig's bestselling Marlow mysteries are set in Key West, the southernmost point in the continental US. An end-of-the-road town, it is closer to Havana than to Miami. Key West has been a literary haven for many well-known authors from Tennessee Williams to Robert Stone, John Ciardi to Annie Dillard, Shel Silverstein to Hunter S. Thompson, Judy Blume to Stuart Woods. Perhaps most notably, it was a home to Ernest Hemingway.
Papa called Key West his home from 1929 to 1939. He wrote more than half a dozen book at his house on Whitehead Street -- titles ranging from Farewell to Arms to Death In The Afternoon, To Have and Have Not to Green Hills of Africa. The unpublished manuscript for Islands in the Stream was found in a vault in the garage.
So it's not surprising that Bill Craig's hardboiled detective would encounter a Hemingway-inspired mystery.
The plot of Craig latest book -- Marlow: Papa's Legacy -- goes like this:
A break-in at the Hemingway museum leads to a lot of speculation on the coconut telegraph. Nothing appears to have been taken and the only damage is to an old desk that Ernest Hemingway had used. The Key West Police Department writes it off as routine vandalism. Except Katrina Morrow doesn't think so. Katrina is a Hemingway scholar and suspects that the break-in had a specific purpose, so she hires Marlow to look into it. As he begins his investigation, some sinister characters show up and try to scare him off. But Rick Marlow doesn't scare easily, and as the stakes rise, he becomes more determined to find the truth, even as it leads south to Cuba and a deadly confrontation over what might be a lost Hemingway manuscript.
