Bruce Hartman lives with his wife in Pennsylvania. He has worked as a pianist, bookseller and attorney and has been writing fiction for many years. He is the author of ten novels, all available on Amazon. His latest book, THE PHILOSOPHICAL DETECTIVE'S LAST CASE (2023) is the third and final book in the Philosophical Detective Trilogy, of which the previous entries were THE PHILOSOPHICAL DETECTIVE, published in 2014, and THE PHILOSOPHICAL DETECTIVE RETURNS (2020). All three novels concern the extraordinary investigations of a blind poet and fabulist who calls himself Jorge Luis Borges, and who, together with his assistant Nick Martin, wrestles with a baffling series of crimes and the equally baffling conundrums of literature and philosophy, including Zeno's paradoxes and the mysteries of destiny, personal identity and artistic creation. Kirkus Reviews called THE PHILOSOPHICAL DETECTIVE "a suspenseful, pitch-perfect novel.. an intelligent, original detective novel." The sequels stand themselves but the three books taken together form an integrated whole.
