~ Trade Paperback

Barney Panofsky (Canadian expat, wily lover of women, writer, television producer, raconteur) is finally putting pen to paper so he can rebut the charges about him made in his rival’s autobiography.  While writing he quickly proves that his memory may be slipping, but his bile isn’t, and when he’s charged with the murder of his own best friend (caught in bed with the second Mrs. Panofsky) Barney’s version of things might not be enough to keep him out of trouble . . . 

"There is no other writer among us at the moment who can so deftly deploy pure dialogue to create such rich atmosphere of period and place . . . This is wholly a wonderful novel . . . By turns gripping, hilarious, ridiculous and even poignant." -- The Montreal Gazette
