But the eccentric detective he's hired must also solve a murder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiven these distractions, Caxton hands over the operation of his literary magazine--\u003cem\u003eThe American Quarterly Review\u003c\/em\u003e--to two newcomers, and they argue about how to revamp the magazine. Their next issue becomes this novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders fond of puzzles will find that piecing together the plot--veiled in a web of short stories, articles, and serial fiction--presents an intriguing challenge. Look for treatments of Sylvia Plath's mother, William Butler Yeats, Hemingway and Gertrude Stein, and the origin of Longfellow's \u003cem\u003eHiawatha.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePortlanders will recognize Manzanita, the American Stonehenge at Maryhill WA, Portland's West Hills and the Pittock Mansion, the setting for the climax. Some may have heard the story of Sir Francis Drake's alleged landing on Oregon's coast in 1579, or recognize Portland in 1895--to which one character finds himself transported.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e A.
