About the Author
Stuart M. Kaminsky is head of the radio/television/film department at Northwestern University in Illinois. He is also a writer of textbooks, screenplays, and mystery novels. The more popular of his two series of detective novels features Toby Peters. Set in the 1930s and 1940s, the Peters books mostrar mais draw on Kaminsky's knowledge of history and love of film by incorporating characters from the film industry's past in nostalgic mysteries.

His other critically acclaimed series chronicles the cases of Inspector Porfiry Rostnikov. Kaminsky's detailed studies of Russian police procedure combined with aspects of life in Russia have earned the Series an Edgar nomination for Black Knight in Red Square (1984) and the 1989 Edgar Award for A Cold Red Sunrise (1988).

Toby as always is stuck in the middle between the mafia, Gary Cooper, the desperate film crew that think that making this film with Gary Cooper is their ticket to fame and his surly brother, a cop who thinks that Toby is always in the wrong.
