"Reminiscent of Chandler." - Publishers Weekly "Peters is a good guy with a sense of humor, and every appearance he makes is a welcome one." - Booklist "Marvelously entertaining." - Newsday "Kaminsky came to detective fiction from academia, but the ease of his prose was anything but academic." - The Guardian "If you like your mysteries Sam Spade tough, with tongue-in-cheek and a touch of the theatrical, then the Toby Peters series is just your ticket." - Houston Chronicle "Kaminsky has a delightfully original mind enriching-rather than just borrowing from-an old literary form." - Los Angeles Times "Makes the totally wacky possible . . . Peters [is] an unblemished delight." - The Washington Post, "Reminiscent of Chandler." -- Publishers Weekly "Peters is a good guy with a sense of humor, and every appearance he makes is a welcome one." -- Booklist "Marvelously entertaining." -- Newsday "Kaminsky came to detective fiction from academia, but the ease of his prose was anything but academic." -- The Guardian "If you like your mysteries Sam Spade tough, with tongue-in-cheek and a touch of the theatrical, then the Toby Peters series is just your ticket." -- Houston Chronicle "Kaminsky has a delightfully original mind enriching--rather than just borrowing from--an old literary form." -- Los Angeles Times "Makes the totally wacky possible . . .

Synopsis
Hollywood detective Toby Peters does a job for one of Tinseltown's finest It's been four years since security guard Toby Peters got fired from the Warner Brothers lot for breaking a screen cowboy's arm. Since then he's scratched out a living as a private detective--missing persons and bodyguard work, mostly--but now his old friends, the Warners, have a job for him. Someone has mailed the studio a picture of Errol Flynn caught in a compromising position with a very young girl. Although Flynn insists it's a fake, the studio is taking no chances. Toby is to deliver the blackmailer $5,000 and return with the photo negative. It should be simple, but Flynn, a swashbuckler on and off the screen, has a way of making things complicated. Though he isn't impressed by movie stars, if Toby Peters isn't careful he may end up dying for one., The first in a mystery series set in 1940s Hollywood, where a hard-boiled private eye helps a cast of real-life stars: "Nostalgic fun" ( Publishers Weekly ). Hollywood, 1940: It's been four years since security guard Toby Peters got fired from the Warner Brothers lot for breaking a screen cowboy's arm. Since then he's scratched out a living as a private detective--missing persons and bodyguard work mostly--but now his old friends, the Warners, have a job for him. Someone has mailed the studio a picture of Errol Flynn caught in a compromising position with an underage woman. Although Flynn insists it's a fake, the studio is taking no chances. Peters is to deliver the blackmailer five thousand dollars and return with the photo negative. It should be simple, but Flynn, a swashbuckler on and off the screen, has a way of making things complicated. Soon it's up to Peters to clear Flynn's name, following a twisted trail that surprisingly leads to the set of The Maltese Falcon , involving Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, and Sydney Greenstreet. As real-life PI Toby Peters meets Bogie's Sam Spade, he doesn't fall prey to being star-struck. But he may still fall prey to a killer. "If you like your mysteries Sam Spade tough, with tongue in cheek and a touch of the theatrical, then the Toby Peters series is just your ticket." -- Houston Chronicle
