"Read with the panache and drama of the strong, silent type. Reminding one of Humphrey
Bogart when he played Philip Marlowe in The Big Sleep, Parker, with tongue firmly in cheek, reads
Kaminsky's succinct descriptions of the quirky Salvador Dali and his entourage; listeners can almost hear
him drag on a cigarette and see it dangling from his lip.This one keeps listeners tuned in for the big finish."

"Any tale opening with Salvador Dali in a deerstalker and white-rabbit costume pursued by an axe-wielding
monk while more consumed by his grasshopper phobia is bound to be considerable fun, and this Toby Peters
mystery certainly is. Tom Parker gives each character a distinctive voice, with his French/Spanish accent for
Dali a particular delight."Library Journal

In wartime L.A., milk prices are up. Margarine and gas can't be bought. For private eye Toby Peters, shoplifting
patrol at the local Ralph's Grocery has been the only steady work. Into this grind of reality comes a hefty,
dubiously welcome dose of surrealism, in the person of Salvador Dali, encamped in nearby Beverly Hills. The
artful madman, whose professed mission it is to shock the world every twenty-four hours, has seen his latest
publicity stunt go fatally, frighteningly amok.

Drawn into a bizarre new world of mustaches without faces, crumbling stone women, and watches melting on the
Victory Drugstore grill, Toby has to hunt down a treasure of three precious paintings and three priceless clocks,
while wading though a growing thicket of bodies whose lives will be forever still. Hovering over the twisted landscape
is the curse of a killer even madder than Daliand more indestructible than a Sherman tank.
