Simon Wolfe is a Private Investigator in Key West in 1937 era. When a friend of his asks him to follow his wife to find out if she is cheating, it leads to danger, murder, and Ernest Hemingway. Simon, while determined to help his friend, is waylaid by his unexpected relationship with Papa Hemingway. Mr. Hart’s research into this real-life tale is extensive and he delivers it with humor, mystery, and attention to detail. His recreation of the era and the mood of Key West is spot on. Mr. Hemingway’s humor, moodiness, fearlessness creates a very special feel for the revered author. Simon is caught up in the generosity of Papa Hemingway and winds up on a three-day boat cruise with fishing, drinking, and careless celebration. But life catches up with him and when he returns there is a lot of work to do. His friend’s wife’s body has disappeared, his friend is arrested for murder and he has to find the truth.
