When PI Jack „Keeper“ Marconi is approached by a meek man by the name McNamee about a beautiful blue eyed, long blonde haired woman who took him not only for $9000 worth of charges on his credit card, but who claims to be pregnant with his child, Keeper can’t help but feel suspicious. Is the woman running a small time prostitution ring that also specializes in credit card fraud and larceny? He agrees to take on the job of surveilling the would-be madame if only to get the man’s money back.

Running with the Bulls
Biografie von Valerie Hemingway
A chance encounter in Spain in 1959 brought young Irish reporter Valerie Danby-Smith face to face with Ernest Hemingway. The interview was awkward and brief, but before it ended something had clicked into place. For the next two years, Valerie devoted her life to Hemingway and his wife, Mary, traveling with them through beloved old haunts in Spain and France and living with them during the tumultuous final months in Cuba. In name a personal secretary, but in reality a confidante and sharer of the great man’s secrets and sorrows, Valerie literally came of age in the company of one of the greatest literary lions of the twentieth century.
