Enescu Fleet cannot seem to get a moment to himself. Off to rest and ponder in the backwoods of Maine, the semiretired private detective is approached by a pair of literature fanatics recently relieved of a priceless timepiece. As Fleet begins reconstructing the theft, he realizes that his new clients are not the only ones running out of time.
Sherban (rhymes with "bourbon") splits his time between Maryland and Maine, and has often been called the next P. G. Wodehouse, or at the very least the current Sherban Young. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of literature, classical music, baseball and film (although, it should be noted that this encyclopedia is a single volume, pop-up book edition). When he isn’t working on a new novel, he enjoys single malt, poker, billiards and listing things he enjoys.
