"Why has fabulous Bette Davis - the best known face in the world behind Roosevelt and Hitler - been kidnapped not once, not twice, but three times? What on earth does this star abduction have to do with Third Reich designs on America's plans for a top-secret superbomber? And who else but Hollywood private eye Toby Peters - always short of a nightmare, far from a dream - would plunge into this hair raising adventure in pursuit of the answers? Peters penetrates a hapless spy ring composed of third-rate Tinseltown tough guys. He delves far too deeply for his own good into the bedroom peccadillos of America's glitter set. And, as bodies build around him, he sets off to the rescue of a movie goddess. But who will protect Toby Peters from the devine Miss Davis." If you like your mysteries to be a blend of fact and fiction this series is for you.
