Eckerd College has a wealth of amazing talent and we're so glad the school is a part of our community. It's always gratifying to see such talent recognized so we were thrilled to see the review in the Tampa Bay Times for Lee Irby, who teaches history at Eckerd and is better known in some circles as an author of renown.

Colette Bancroft, the book editor for TBT, published a glowing review for Lee's latest book, Unreliable, calling it a "smart, well-crafted novel." It is a modern thriller with roots in the plot-twist genre practiced so well by  Edgar Allan Poe and Vladimir Nabokov. Throughout the book, it is never clear whether the narrator, a failed novelist) is lying or telling the truth. 

Lee also wrote a couple of books Colette Bancroft called "snappy crime novels," 7000 Clams and The Up and Up, both set in Florida in the 1920s. Can't wait to read Unreliable.
