Reviews
PRAISE FOR WOMAN WITH A BLUE PENCIL : "McAlpine's creative talent is rare and this novel is an exceptional literary treat." - Shelf Awareness STARRED review "A masterpiece of metafiction....I don't know the last time I read a book that made me think that much AND had that good of an ending." - MysteryPeople PICK OF THE MONTH "A masterly critique of the mystery novel... McAlpine's greatest accomplishment is that the book works both as a conventional mystery story and as a deconstruction of the genre's ideology: whichever strand readers latch on to, the parallel stories pack a brutal punch." - Publishers Weekly BOXED, STARRED review " Woman with a Blue Pencil is a brilliantly structured labyrinth of a novel--something of an enigma wrapped in a mystery, postmodernist in its experimental bravado and yet satisfyingly well-grounded in the Los Angeles of its World War II era. Gordon McAlpine has imagined a totally unique work of 'mystery' fiction--one that Kafka, Borges, and Nabokov, as well as Dashiell Hammett, would have appreciated." --JOYCE CAROL OATES "Not like any other murder mystery now in print.... Intricate. Unique... a definite work of art." - Suspense Magazine "Hard-boiled fiction fans could use more books like [McAlpine's]: novels that work on multiple levels, and take the genre to such strange and fascinating places." - Paste Magazine "A truly original crime novel." - Booklist PRAISE FOR HAMMETT UNWRITTEN : "Gordon McAlpine has created not just a pastiche or a homage, but rather a refreshing, brisk, yet fully and brilliantly realized work...--a work that is nearly perfect and manages to pay homage to Hammett's celebrated work, while still being an incredibly engaging read for the uninitiated.... [An] inspired tale that delivers as expertly drawn meta-fiction and a compelling mystery." - Reviewing the Evidence "This mash-up of biography and mystery novel is fascinating.... An engaging, highly imaginative book." - Mystery Scene
Synopsis
From the Edgar®-nominated author of Hammett Unwritten and Woman with a Blue Pencil comes a startling meta-fiction tale told in the voice of Sherlock Holmes. Set in 1920s' London, Cambridge, and Paris, Holmes's final adventure leads him through labyrinths of crime and espionage in a mortally dangerous inquiry into the unseen nature of existence itself. Sherlock Holmes, now in his seventies, retired from investigations and peaceably disguised as a professor at Cambridge, is shaken when a modestly successful author in his late-sixties named Arthur Conan Doyle calls upon him at the university. This Conan Doyle, notable for historical adventure stories, science fiction, and a three-volume history of the Boer War (but no detective tales), somehow knows of the false professor's true identity and pleads for investigative assistance. Someone is trying to kill Conan Doyle. Who? Why? Good questions, but what intrigues Holmes most is how the "middling scribbler" ascertained Holmes's identity in the first place, despite the detective's perfect disguise. Holmes takes the case. There is danger every step of the way. Great powers want the investigation quashed. But with the assistance of Dr. Watson's widow, Holmes persists, exploring séances, the esoterica of Edgar Allan Poe, the revolutionary new science of quantum mechanics, and his own long-denied sense of loss and solitude. Ultimately, even Sherlock Holmes is unprepared for what the evidence suggests., From the Edgar(R)-nominated author of Hammett Unwritten and Woman with a Blue Pencil comes a startling meta-fiction tale told in the voice of Sherlock Holmes.
