As a private detective, Toby Peters has had some pretty impressive clients over the years but none of them has been quite as memorable as his latest: A tough-as-nails, sharp-witted, damsel-in-distress named Mae West. Mae, it seems, has discovered that her only copy of her sizzling autobiography is missing. And when Peters' brother, Phil, is forced to ask for his help, the private eye agreed to track it down. But after taking a beating from a man named Tessner- a thief, a master of disguise and, even more dangerous, a frustratced actor- Peter rcalises that his job is just beginning. Following the trail of Mae's scandalous memoirs soon leads Peters into the midst of a family feud of Herculean proportions and a California sanitorium, from which he must make a daring escape worthy of Ressner himself...

This review is from: He Done Her Wrong (Toby Peters Mysteries) (Paperback)
What could be more sizzling than the autobiography of Mae West? And it's missing in Stuart Kaminsky's Toby Peters mystery HE DONE HER WRONG.What are a few lumps for Tody when he meets up with the sometimes actor Ressner, who took the book. Then things are just beginning to get rough as Toby lands himself in the middle of a family feud and in a sanatorium from which escape may be impossible. But Tody had a tribe of friends who will go to great lengths for their friend and Mae is one tough lady. Nash Black, author of SINS OF THE FATHERS.
