Publisher Description

"I'm here," came a familiar voice.

I turned…and found myself looking at Bette Davis no more than a half a dozen feet in front of me. She strode forward around two couples and stood in front of me with a smile that could kill. The orchestra had picked up the theme and it was hard to hear her as she said, "Why are you following me?"

Why has the fabulous Bette Davis—the best known face in the world behind Roosevelt and Hitler—been kidnapped, not once, not twice, but three times? What in the world does this star abduction have to do with Third Reich designs on America's plans for a top-secret superbomber? And who else but Hollywood private eye Toby Peters to plunge into this hair-raising adventure in pursuit of the answers?

Spending about a third of his waking time on the phone and another third on his back (usually in hospitals), Peters penetrates a hapless spy ring composed of fourth-rate Tinseltown tough guys. He delves far too deeply for his own good into the bedroom peccadillos of America's glitter set, and, as bodies stack up around him, he sets off to the rescue of a movie goddess. But who'll protect Toby Peters from the divine Miss Davis?

Quotes

  • “Shades of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. If you think Stuart Kaminsky doesn’t have a feeling for the best of both authors, you are in for a surprise.”

    — San Diego Union-Tribune
  • “Christopher Lane interprets the story amusingly and does fine character impersonations of crazy old ladies, petty crooks, and brusque if well-meaning cops.”

    — Library Journal
  • “Lane does an especially nice job with the crotchety lady’s voice.”

    — Kliatt
  • “Another pleasantly foolish outing for Toby Peters…The byplay between Toby and Davis, who stops recycling dialogue from her movies only long enough to get snatched three times, is the high point here.”

About Stuart M. Kaminsky

Stuart Kaminsky (1934–2009) was one of the most prolific crime fiction authors of the last four decades. He wrote sixty books in all and penned twenty-four novels starring the detective Toby Peters, whom he described as “the anti–Philip Marlowe.” In 1981’s Death of a Dissident, he debuted Moscow police detective Porfiry Rostnikov, whose stories were praised for their accurate depiction of Soviet life. His other two series starred Abe Lieberman, a hardened Chicago cop, and Lew Fonseca, a process server. Born in Chicago, he spent his youth immersed in pulp fiction and classic cinema—two forms of popular entertainment which he would make his life’s work. After college and a stint in the army, he wrote film criticism and biographies of the great actors and directors of Hollywood’s Golden Age. In 1977, when a planned biography of Charlton Heston fell through, he wrote Bullet for a Star, his first Toby Peters novel, beginning a fiction career that would last the rest of his life.
