From the inside cover:
"June 16...Bloomsday, and a celebration in honor of James Joyce, Ireland's most famous author, turns into an itricate and deadly puzzle for Chief Superintendent Peter McGarr of the Dublin Murder Squad. Kevin Coyle, a brillant and philandering expert on Joyce, has been found murdered outside of Prospect Cemetery in Dublin near a patch of earth described by Joyce in Ulysses as nothing less than "Murder's ground."
Who brought Kevin Coyle's promising literary career to such a bloody end? McGarr's suspects include a sexy feminist publisher, obstreperous street punks, treacherous Trinity academics - and and even the dead man's widow, who bears a suspicious resemblance to James Joyce's own Nora Barnacle. In the Death of a Joyce Scholar, where motives for homicide can hide as easily in the pages of books as in the twisted passions of the human heart, McGarr finds it increasingly difficult to tell where literature ends and murder begins.
It all makes for sly, clever reading. Especially after McGarr discovers that he has to immerse himself in the literary labyrinth that is Ulysses in order to retrace the steps of both murderer and victim. It's a walking tour that mystery fans will be thrilled to join."
