Even Ernest himself would probably have fled Key West's Hemingway Days celebration -- a week of raucous tourists and swaggering Papa pretenders that sends locals into hiding. Thus the low profile assumed by Gideon Lowry, playing his weekly piano gig at a quiet hotel, fighting his daily urge for a drink. That's where Asia -- just Asia, like Madonna -- finds him. Beret-clad, with lips the color of a plum, she glides into Gideon's world on the breathless end of a classic tune. She's left her aerie at MTV to find her estranged husband, who's lost in the reverie surrounding his obsession: Hemingway. But Asia doesn't want him back, she wants a divorce -- and is ready to pay handsomely for it. As the Hemingway festival builds to its crescendo, mainland violence pays a nasty visit. There's an evil dancing behind the carefree facades of Duval Street, and it will take every sun-bitten ounce of Gideon's Conch resolve to reel it in...… (més)

Great characters, great storytelling, but not much of a mystery, and very easy to figure out. ( )

At least it dealt with Key West. ( )

Gideon Lowery, born and raised in Key West, part-time piano man and occasional P.I., has seen it all. Or has he?

THe annual Hemingway Days celebration brings in all the look-a-like, wannabes to party hard in honour of one of Key West's most notable celebrities. It also brings in a group of authors, whose specialty is also Papa Hemingway, and murder.

While the locals try to keep low profile and avoid the raucas week, Gideon is hired by exotic Asia of MTV fame to locate her estranged husband, who is among the visiting writers.

How does an MTV celeb, a writer and Big Oil tie into a murder? And what do some of the local Conchs have to do with it all? Untangling these threads leads Gideon on an interesting chase in the world or writers and big deals.

This is the second book in the Gideon Lowery series and is again very enjoyable. ( )
