On the eve of Pearl Harbor, Howard Hughes hires Hollywood gumshoe Toby Peters to find stolen blueprints
Millionaire Howard Hughes likes his secrets. He likes to keep them-and he definitely doesn't like having them stolen. Hollywood PI Toby Peters has a rep for being discreet. So when the film tycoon and aviation magnate needs a detective to very privately investigate the theft of top-secret blueprints taken from his home during one of his fabulous parties, he summons Peters. But what starts as counter-espionage intrigue turns into a triple murder, and Peters soon finds himself bait for a killer.
As America is pulled into World War II, Peters is just trying to stay alive as a gunman chases him through a deserted television soundstage. With help from some unlikely allies-including Basil Rathbone, the silver screen's Sherlock Holmes, and gangster/patriot Bugsy Siegel-Peters is determined to dodge the bullets long enough to recover the blueprints before they fall into the wrong hands.
