WINNERS! “Thereby Hangs a Tail” Detective Novels

A unique take on the classic American detective novel, Thereby Hangs a Tail is the sequel to Quinn’s debut book, Dog On It, in which we were introduced to gumshoe Bernie Little and his canine companion Chet. What makes the books unique is they’re narrated by Chet!

In Thereby Hangs a Tail, Bernie and Chet are hired to investigate threats made against a pampered show pooch named Princess. What seems like a joke turns serious when Princess and her owner are abducted. And to make matters worse, Bernie’s on-again, off-again girlfriend, reporter Susie Sanchez, disappears, too. When Chet gets separated from Bernie, he tries to put the pieces together, find his way home, and save the day.

Bursting with suspense and intrigue, combined with humour and insight into the special bond between man and dog, Thereby Hangs a Tail is top-class entertainment.

Reviews – Film: Farewell

by Cameron Murray on May.21, 2010, under Reviews, Web Exclusives

Director: Christian Carion

Stars: Emir Kusturica, Guillaume Canet, Alexandra Maria Lara, Willem Dafoe

Hopscotch

IN CINEMAS JULY 1

IN 1981, at the height of the Cold War, high-ranking KGB officer Sergei Gregoriev (Kusturica) is disillusioned with Communism and sets out to “change the world” by passing on top-secret information to France.

Pierre Froment (Canet), a mild-mannered French engineer living in Moscow, becomes Gregoriev’s contact, but it soon becomes clear that the KGB Colonel – codename ‘Farewell’ – is not your average spy. Still a proud Russian, Gregoriev has no wish to defect to the West, and he refuses any payment other than champagne, music and poetry – reminders of happier years he spent living in Paris. Gregoriev simply wants his motherland to be a better place for his son, and he doesn’t care what happens to himself.

When French President Mitterrand (Philippe Magnan) brings US President Reagan (Fred Ward) and the Americans into the equation, the situation begins to spiral out of control and Froment and his young family find themselves in grave danger.

Farewell is a well-made and atmospheric espionage film, and the fact it’s based on truth adds to its appeal. Information provided by the real Farewell, Vladimir Vetrov, helped turn the tide of the Cold War and, you could say, changed the world.
