Synopsis

As a private eye, 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. Without hesitation, Peters agrees to track it down. But after taking a beating from a man named Ressner --a thief, a master of disguise, and, even more dangerous, a frustrated actor -- Peter realizes that his job is just beginning. Following the trait of Mae's scandalous memoirs soon leads Peters into the midst of a family feud of Herculean proportions, and a California sanitarium from which he must make a daring escape worthy of Ressner

From AudioFile:

Hollywood 1942. WWII is raging, and P.I. Toby Peters agrees to do some investigating for his brother, a cop, into the disappearance of the manuscript of Mae West's autobiography. Murder and mayhem ensue, with Peters spending a short time as a patient in a mental institution. Parker's differentiated voices are perfect for the cast of zany characters, including Cecil B. deMille and the inimitable Mae West, and his portrayal of Peters as a wisecracking detective is right on. He excels at conveying the wonderful humor in the book, the hilarious views Peters has of himself, friends, relatives, and life in general, as well as great one-liners. Apt phrasing and timing round out this entertaining audio. S.S.R. An AudioFile Earphones Award winner. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
