    About this ebook

    Paris 1922, the lost generation gathered to forget WWI. Art, literature and freedom filled the air. Pablo Picasso, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henri Matisse, Sinclair Lewis and cutting the widest swath through the City of Light, Ernest Hemingway.
    Good and evil stalked the European Continent as the world began to position for the next war. In the midst of all this turmoil, Hemingway’s early work was stolen. Packed in a suitcase with the carbon copies, it was snatched from a train in Paris.
    A sinister curse, unleashed by Hemingway, follows the suitcase as it passes through history striking down those who would possess it. Double-edged, it shadows him through three wars, four wives, even deepest Africa. Try as he might, he can’t outrun it.
    All framed by the incredible life of Ernest Hemingway, the thrilling story has twists and turns that will keep the pages turning throughout the entire journey.
