Saratoga Hexameter: 2a Charlie Bradshaw Mystery

Stephen Dobyns. Penguin Books, $4.95 (256pp) ISBN 978-0-14-011691-5

PI Charlie Bradshaw goes undercover as a poet after noting that bad poems link several incidents--a jewelry heist, a nurse's mysterious death and a critic's terrorization. According to PW , ``The send-ups of the critical and artistic community are only some of the pleasures of this compact, seamless, tremendously amusing mystery in the best tradition of the genre.''
