Fatal Glass of Beer Synopsis

This ';enjoyable lark' is a road-trip mystery with an old Hollywood backdrop, starring PI Toby Peters and the great comic W.C. Fields (Library Journal). Under names like Otis J.Raisincluster, Quigley E.Sneersight, and Cormorant Beecham III, W.C. Fields squirreled away nearly a million dollars in banks across the country during his vaudeville daysbefore he became one of the silver screen's most recognizable funnymen. But it's no laughing matter when a burglar has the audacity to rob him blind, stealing his bankbooks and cleaning out his accounts. Steaming, the comedian hires Hollywood private investigator Toby Peters to track down the missing dough and protect what remains of his nest egg. On a cross-country road trip through small-town 1940s America, a frequently inebriated Fields and a frequently exasperated Peters encounter complications in the form of the Amish, John Barrymore, and the Ku Klux Klan. But can they catch their elusive quarryLester O.Hipnoodle? ';Even on the printed page... Fields' nasal rap seems to rise up and envelop you' in the Edgar Awardwinning author's ';mesmerizing' comic mystery (Chicago Sun-Times).
