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.
