Gen. Douglas MacArthur enlists the help of a discreet private
detective in “one of the sprightliest of the [Toby Peters] series”
(Time). It’s September 1942, and Gen. Douglas MacArthur believes
he’s got what it takes to win the war in the Pacific—but he’s
got a personal problem to take care of first. An aide has run off with
his war chest, his donor list, and a handful of embarrassing private
letters: a haul that would make the general a perfect target for
blackmail and derail the post-war presidential run he’s planning.
This is one battle he can’t afford to lose. So the general
enlists Det. Toby Peters, who has built a reputation for discretion
among Hollywood’s elite, not to mention the White House. Forming a
surprising alliance with former Pinkerton agent and legendary crime
novelist, Dashiell Hammett, Peters follows the trail to Angel Springs,
California, and a mysterious millionaire who’s definitely no angel.
In protecting the general from blackmail, Peters hopes to avoid paying
the ultimate price himself. Edgar Award winner Stuart M. Kaminsky
“has a delightfully original mind enriching—rather than just
borrowing from—an old literary form” (Los Angeles Times).
