Synopsis:
In the backscratching, backstabbing world of CanLit, rumours are rife that Canada’s pre-eminent man of letters is about to win the Nobel Prize, so why does his former friend and admirer want to kill him? A love-struck acolyte, a nosy critic, a dyspeptic agent, and a missing manuscript contribute to the twists, turns, and laughs.
Cast of Characters
Lyle Lemmerman – a writer, mid- to- late thirties
Abigail Bliss – works for Noble, plain and bookish looking
Noble Harmsworth – an eminent author, ageless
Percy Fawcett – a critic, fulsome, snobby, fawning literary type
Jasmine Maxwell – Noble’s agent, slight New York accent, fifties
