A Charlie Salter Omnibus: A Charlie Salter Mystery

Description

Eric Wright's popular detective, Charlie Salter, is introduced in this collection of the first three books in the well-loved mystery series: The Night the Gods Smiled, Smoke Detector, and Death in the Old Country. Self-righteous and outspoken, Salter has gotten himself shunted to routine duties from what he considers the "real" police work of investigation. However, circumstances give him the chance to redeem himself, and his intelligence and sensitivity guide him through the cases that follow. Interwoven in the detective work, Charlie's wry humour and perception and his personal relationships and family life add extra dividends and enjoyment for the reader.

The Hemingway Caper: A Joe Barley Mystery

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.

Moodie's tale

Description

When William Moodie takes a job teaching at the Van Horne Institute of Technological Education, the Young Englishman becomes an unwitting player in the frequently hilarious byzantine snakes and ladders games played in Canadian academia. Then, at the pinnacle of his administrative career, Moodie suddenly finds himself both unemployed and stranded in Canada. On the advice of a Canadian who, of course, has never been there, he sets out to discover the "real" Canada. Like his namesake Susanna, 140 years ago, William gets much more than his fair share of "Roughing It In The Bush." He finds himself somewhere North of Winnipeg, acting as a fishing guide to American tourists. When the bush plane in which he is a passenger, crashes in a remote area, Moodie finds himself once again stranded and face to face with a Canadian wilderness he never bargained for.
