On the eve of Pearl Harbor, Howard Hughes hires Hollywood gumshoe Toby
Peters to find stolen blueprints in the "marvelously entertaining"
series ( Newsday). Millionaire Howard Hughes likes his secrets. He
likes to keep them—and he definitely doesn't like having them
stolen. Hollywood PI Toby Peters has a rep for being discreet. So when
the film tycoon and aviation magnate needs a detective to very
privately investigate the theft of top-secret blueprints taken from
his home during one of his fabulous parties, he summons Peters. But
what starts as counter-espionage intrigue turns into a triple murder,
and Peters soon finds himself bait for a killer. As America is
pulled into World War II, Peters is just trying to stay alive as a
gunman chases him through a deserted television soundstage. With help
from some unlikely allies—including Basil Rathbone, the silver
screen's Sherlock Holmes, and gangster/patriot Bugsy Siegel—Peters
is determined to dodge the bullets long enough to recover the
blueprints before they fall into the wrong hands. The Chicago
Sun-Times calls the Toby Peters mysteries "entertainment at its best"
as Edgar Award–winning author Stuart Kaminsky takes readers on a
rollicking tour of Hollywood in the forties.
