The normally quiet status of a small Canadian town is sent into a tailspin when a high school teacher is murdered on the same night that one of the town's citizens appears on the television game show Jeopardy. A quirky cast of characters, a genuine mystery for the reader, and a healthy dose of dark humor make Watching Jeopardy a must-read.
Norm Foster has been called Canada’s preeminent comic playwright, and he is also one of the most prolific and most produced of all Canadian playwrights. Halifax Chronicle-Herald columnist Ron Foley writes “Foster’s stage writing remains one of Canada’s greatest theatrical treasures”, and The Calgary Herald describes him as ‘one of the funniest writers of intelligent comedy in Canadian theatre today’. Mr. Foster has over forty plays to his credit including The Foursome, The Affections Of May, Wrong For Each Other, The Love List, Outlaw, Skin Flick, Old Love and Mending Fences. He is the recipient of the Los Angeles Drama-Logue Award for his play, The Melville Boys. Watching Jeopardy is Mr. Foster's first novel.
