First Edition - stated, w/full number line, indicating First Printing. NOT an Ex-Library copy. The twelfth Toby Peters mystery, featuring Einstein and Paul Roebson. An unread copy - book is "As New" but DJ has 4 small and barely noticible pencil point type marks that affect the Mylar cover and Dj but not the book itself - thus the down grade to "Fine" for the DJ. 212 pp. See other Toby Peters novels in my "First Editions" catalog.

About this title

Synopsis

Toby Peters, a L.A. private detective, is determined to save Albert Einstein and Paul Robeson from a Nazi assassin

Reviews

In the 11th Toby Peters caper, Kaminsky (The Man Who Shot Lewis Vance relocates his seedy, middle-aged private eye to New York. Away from L.A. and his usual movie star clients, Peters is still working for celebrities. This time (April, 1942) his client is Albert Einstein, worried that Nazi Fifth columnists are besmirching his loyalty to the Allied cause. Almost incidentally, they may also be planning an assassination. Peters flies East, sets up in New York's Taft Hotel and gets on the case. Soon he's involved with a couple of wise-cracking FBI men, the singer Paul Robeson and a production of Othello, a crazed Hungarian killer and an aging female telephone operator at the Taft. Peters's L.A. officemate, dentist Shelly Minck, is also in town. Peters and Minck move around a lot, avoiding the Hungarian and discovering bodies until the climax at the Waldorf-Astoria. Kaminsky's usual 1940s home-front color is rather pale here (despite a nice scene of Sinatra at the Paramount); the plot doesn't need an Einstein to figure it out; and the Peters-and-Minck slapstick wears thin. Quick, Toby: Back to Hollywood.
