Douglas MacArthur enlists the help of a discreet private detective in “one of the sprightliest of the [Toby Peters] series” (\u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e It’s September 1942, and Gen. Douglas MacArthur believes he’s got what it takes to win the war in the Pacific—but he’s got a personal problem to take care of first. An aide has run off with his war chest, his donor list, and a handful of embarrassing private letters: a haul that would make the general a perfect target for blackmail and derail the post-war presidential run he’s planning. This is one battle he can’t afford to lose.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e So the general enlists Det. Toby Peters, who has built a reputation for discretion among Hollywood’s elite, not to mention the White House. Forming a surprising alliance with former Pinkerton agent and legendary crime novelist, Dashiell Hammett, Peters follows the trail to Angel Springs, California, and a mysterious millionaire who’s definitely no angel. In protecting the general from blackmail, Peters hopes to avoid paying the ultimate price himself.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Edgar Award winner Stuart M. Kaminsky “has a delightfully original mind enriching—rather than just borrowing from—an old literary form” (\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"MysteriousPress.com\/Open Road","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143286964464,"sku":"9781453247426","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781453247426_p0.jpg?v=1763849021","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781453247426","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
