Hired as a bodyguard for diva Bette Davis, this wisecracking Hollywood
PI better fasten his seat belt, it's going to be a bumpy night.
Bette Davis has three words to describe her hotel hideaway: "What a
dump!" After two days locked in a rented room with the acid-tongued
actress, private eye Toby Peters is starting to feel like he's her
husband—instead of Arthur Farnsworth—and he wants a divorce. The
diva's real hubby—an aeronautics engineer with a head full of
government secrets and a gang of blackmailers on his trail—has hired
Peters to keep Bette safe from kidnappers. But when thugs burst
through the hotel room door, it's almost a relief. Almost . . .
Because Peters still has a job to do. And to rescue the snatched
star, he needs to crack a Nazi spy ring while at the same time keeping
a bit of indiscreet evidence involving Bette and Howard Hughes from
falling into the wrong hands . . . "For anyone with a taste for
old Hollywood B-movie mysteries, Edgar winner [Stuart M.] Kaminsky
offers plenty of nostalgic fun" in the Toby Peters mysteries. "The
tone is light, the pace brisk, the tongue firmly in cheek" (
Publishers Weekly).
