Time is running out for surrealist painter Salvador Dalí and a 1940s
Hollywood PI: “Fast-paced, well-plotted, consistently funny” (The
Philadelphia Inquirer). Talk about surreal! An ax-wielding monk
hacks at a door, while on the other side private detective Toby Peters
is running as fast as his recently broken leg will allow, alongside
Salvador Dalí, dressed in a rabbit suit, repeatedly muttering
“grasshoppers” as they try to make their escape. It all started
when Dalí hired a gang of burglars to steal three of his own
paintings—a publicity stunt that spiraled out of control when the
thieves refused to give the missing masterpieces back. Dalí hired
Peters to find the artwork, but now it seems the pair may have painted
themselves into a corner. “The flamboyant prankster-artist
[Dalí] holds his own among the hero’s circle of zany friends in Mr.
Kaminsky’s Technicolor fantasy of 1940’s Hollywood.” —The New
York Times “Once again Kaminsky mixes the real—in this case the
surreal—with the fictional for a quick-paced, clever revisionist
Hollywood romp.” —Publishers Weekly
