MILDRED PIERCED by Stuart Kaminsky - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKSee all titles by Stuart Kaminsky.
That down-at-the-heels gumshoe Toby Peters again proves to be "an
unblemished delight," as the Washington Post Book World put it, while
his creator, Stuart M. Kaminsky, continues to "make the totally wacky
possible" in a zany new Hollywood adventure. Having survived the hire
of such movie luminaries as Humphrey Bogart, Bette Davis, Charlie
Chaplin, and Cary Grant, tinsel-town detective Toby finds himself in
the employ of an edgy Joan Crawford.
Actually, Toby needs Miss Crawford
as much as she needs him. His longtime friend and office mate, the mad
dentist Sheldon Minck, has been jailed for murder—the victim, his
estranged wife, Mildred; the motive, a $200,000 inheritance; the
weapon, a crossbow. Only Miss Crawford, the single witness to the
crime, can attest to hapless Minck's innocence.
But the former MGM
movie queen has just been offered her first film in two years, as the
title character in Mildred Pierce, so she is anxious to avoid
unpleasant publicity that could cost her the role. So it's up to Toby
to solve the crime, save Minck, and thus keep Miss Crawford's famous
name out of the daily papers.
