Book ID/图书代码： 14934111B45627
English Summary/英文概要： It was the shot heard ’round the world: On July 2, 1961, Ernest Hemingway died from a shotgun blast to the head. It’s 1965: two men have come to Idaho to confront the widow Hemingway—men who have doubts about the true circumstances of Hemingway’s death. One is crime novelist Hector Lassiter. What Hector finds are pieces of his own, long-ago stolen writings, now in danger of being foisted upon an unsuspecting public as Ernest Hemingway’s work. As Hector digs into the mystery of his and Hemingway’s lost writings, he uncovers an audacious, decades-long conspiracy tied to FBI J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI. When legend becomes fact, print the legend.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Craig McDonald所寫的犯罪小說系列，主角皆為犯罪小說家Hector Lassiter。Hector寫小說，也照著自己寫的故事情節生活，還常常把身邊的家人朋友也一起拖下水。
故事中和Hector有往來的都是歷史上的名人，例如海明威、奧森威爾遜(Orson Welles)、格特魯德‧斯泰因(Gertrude Stein)等人。此系列的故事背景都是實際發生的歷史背景，讓人不禁懷疑歷史上是否真的曾發生這些駭人聽聞的恐怖事件…？ 1961年，海明威在家中舉槍自盡。為何他要走上絕路？他真的是自殺嗎？

Ingeniously plotted and executed, Print the Legend is an epic masterpiece from Craig McDonald. Beginning to end, I was riveted by this story of character, history and intrigue.---MICHAEL CONNELLY
The competition for the future of crime fiction is fierce, but don’t take your eyes off Craig McDonald. He’s wily, talented and -- rarest of the rare -- a true original. I am always eager to see what he’s going to do next."---LAURA LIPPMAN
What critics might call eclectic, and Eastern folks quirky, we Southerners call cussedness -- and it’s the cornerstone of the American genius. As in: "There’s a right way, a wrong way, and my way." You want to see how that looks on the page, pick up any of Craig McDonald’s novels. He’s built him a nice little shack out there way off all the reg’lar roads, and he’s brewing some fine, heady stuff. Leave your money under the rock and come back in an hour. ---JAMES SALLIS
With Print the Legend, with a James Ellroy-like scope and vision of national history, McDonald takes on governmental conspiracy, Hemingway hagiography, the under-history of the FBI, the Death of the Author (literal and figurative) and the tantalizing, destructive mythologization of the Writer’s Life. While the scale is immense, McDonald’s hand is deft, and we never forget that, at its center, this is a human story, complex and bruising and deeply felt. ---MEGAN ABBOTT
"Print the Legend is a landmark book. Lassiter for me is the Flashman/Zelig of the new era, but with a ferocious literary knowledge that is worn so lightly. A book beyond genre, stunning." ---KEN BRUEN
