A classic hardboiled mystery set against the glittering backdrop of 1940s Hollywood, The Howard Hughes Affair is the fourth instalment in Stuart Kaminsky's beloved Toby Peters series. Hollywood private eye Toby Peters is hired to protect the eccentric and reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes, only to find himself tangled in a web of blackmail, murder, and intrigue that reaches into the highest echelons of Tinseltown. Kaminsky masterfully weaves real historical figures into his fiction, with the legendary Basil Rathbone making a memorable appearance alongside the larger-than-life Hughes. Written with sharp wit, period-perfect atmosphere, and a fast-paced noir sensibility, this mystery captures the seedy glamour of wartime Los Angeles with irresistible charm.
