You Bet Your Life
As a hard-boiled Hollywood PI enlists Al Capone''s help to save the Marx Brothers, Kaminsky "makes the totally wacky possible" (The Washington Post). It''s 1941 and the Marx Brothers'' first movie for MGM, Go West, has the country in stitches. But now Chico Marx is worried he''s going to need stitches when he receives a severed ear in the mail--a simple message from a Chicago bookie who wants $120,000, or else. Chico is baffled because, although he loves to gamble, he''s never made a bet in Chicago. Desperate, he turns to the king of Hollywood, Louis B. Mayer, who puts in a call to Toby Peters. A Hollywood private detective who''s proven himself adept at keeping scandals out of the tabloids, Peters flies to Florida for an interview with Al Capone, deposed lord of the Chicago underworld. The retired bootlegger''s mind has gone soft, and he doesn''t know anything about Chico''s bookie, but he suggests Peters speak to his brother. With Scarface''s good word as an introduction, the PI heads to Chicago. But it will take more than a good sense of humor to keep Groucho, Harpo, and especially Chico from getting axed. Edgar Award-winner Stuart Kaminsky''s "Toby Peters series was a delight. They were written with more than a dash of humor and featured a variety of improbable real-life characters, ranging from the Marx Brothers to Judy Garland" (Library Journal).

Pour qui sonne le clap
" Stuart Kaminsky relance Toby Peters, ce privé qui hante les studios d''Hollywood pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Peters, c''est d''abord un anti-héros toujours fauché mais diablement perspicace, un ex-flic au nez cassé par son grand frère et au dos en compote, obligé de dormir sur une planche de bois et qui se nourrit de céréales, largué par une épouse dont il n''arrive pas à faire le deuil. Un grand gamin qui n''arrivera jamais à devenir adulte et qui erre au milieu d''une bande de solitaires aussi brisés par la vie que sa colonne vertébrale" " Patrice Gagnant, Le Progrès. Traduit de l''américain par Simone Hilling
