A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Protecting a starlet from kidnappers gets Toby Peters kidnapped himself

For Hollywood private eye Toby Peters, hell is Bette Davis. After two days locked in a hotel room with the Oscar-winning diva, her ice-queen persona and witty repartee are driving him mad. He's there on behalf of her husband Albert Farnsworth, an aeronautics engineer with a head full of government secrets. Blackmailers are threatening his wife, demanding plans for America's new long-range bomber. Always eager to help out Uncle Sam, Toby hides Bette in a fleabag motel. After forty-eight hours together he's fantasizing about killing his client. As it turns out, someone may do it for him.

The thugs track them to the hotel and escort them out at gunpoint. He'll have to crack the spy ring fast, lest this be Bette's -- and his -- final performance.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Why has legendary actress Bette Davis been kidnapped not once, not twice, but three times? What does her abduction have to do with the Third Reich's attempts to steal America's plans for a top secret superbomber?
In pursuit of answers, private eye Toby Peters must penetrate a hapless spy ring composed of third rate Tinseltown tough guys, and delve into the bedroom peccadillos of America's glitter set. As bodies begin piling up around him, he finds himself racing to the rescue of Miss Davis.
But if he fails in his mission, who'll protect Peters from the wrath of the star...?
