HUNTING FOR HEMINGWAY is based upon a real incident in Ernest Hemingway’s life when his first wife, Hadley Richardson, lost much of his early work. It was in December, 1922, only a year after they were married, and Hadley packed all his stories and poems in a suitcase that was stolen at the Gare de Lyon railroad station as she boarded a train to take her to meet Hemingway in Switzerland. Although he offered a reward, Hemingway never got any of his work back. What really happened to it?

The mystery revolves around a true incident in Rabbie Burns’ life when he scratched a Jacobite verse on the window of the Lion’s Head Inn in Stirling with a diamond tip pen. As the verse gained fame, Burns had to rush back to the Inn to break the window so he would escape being accused of treason. The pieces of that broken window along with a handwritten poem of Burns turn up in the present day, and they’re worth millions. Then the treasure is stolen. This mystery is woven into today’s corporate world where high tech counterfeiting and murder threaten to destroy the priceless Burns artifacts for all time.

SUMMARY:
Working over Christmas isn’t all bad. For insurance investigator DD McGil, who lost her fiancé two years ago, a routine job offers welcome distraction. But who could guess that running employee background checks at Hi-Data, a major software company in Chicago’s Silicon Valley, would lead to three dead bodies, counterfeit money, and a killer on her tail?
The electrocuted corpse of a Hi-Data partner, who just happens to be her dead fiance’s step-brother, is only the first nasty surprise in this deadly web of corporate treachery. Is it possible that her aunt’s newfound Robert Burns discovery—a literary treasure worth millions if authenticated—is somehow connected?
Relying on her own tools of the trade and the preternatural fact-finding skills of her antiquarian bookseller friend Tom Joyce, DD slowly pieces together a sordid case of high tech villainy, which turns out to be shockingly linked to her fiancé’s mysterious death.
