Publisher's summary

The uniformed man standing before Toby Peters is General Douglas MacArthur, a soldier who considers himself the only man who can defeat the Japanese. But though he may be all-powerful in the South Pacific, today he is in Los Angeles with a problem only a detective can solve. The general has an eye on a postwar promotion to the White House, and an aide has stolen his war chest, his donor list, and a handful of embarrassing private letters. To get them back, Toby may need some help.

Lucky for him, he's just met Dashiell Hammett, one of the finest crime novelists of all time. Dodging his mistress while he's waiting to rejoin the army, Dash needs amusement and thinks Toby's case sounds like a lark. In fact, the assignment proves dangerous. Toby isn't a soldier, but he soon finds he just might end up dying at a general’s whim nonetheless.

Critic reviews

"For anyone with a taste for old Hollywood B-movie mysteries, Edgar winner Kaminsky offers plenty of nostalgic fun.... The tone is light, the pace brisk, the tongue firmly in cheek." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Marvelously entertaining." ( Newsday)
"Makes the totally wacky possible.... Peters [is] an unblemished delight." ( Washington Post)

Great

I love the glimpse into life during WWII in California. The mystery was great and the characters wonderful.
