Publisher's Synopsis
"Someone has murdered a munchkin"
The year is 1940, and Los Angeles-based private eye Toby Peters has been called before the real Wizard of Oz himself, Louis B. Mayer, legendery studio head of Metro-Goldwyn Mayer. His job is to track down a murderer stalking the back lots of one of Hollywood's most powerful movie companies.
Peters sets to work plumbing the depths of a world of dreamers, child-stars and half-sized philosophers, assisted by none other than Clark Cable, Raymond Chandler and Judy Garland. It's treacherous trail of clues that our intrepid investigator must follow, one that is as winding as the Yellow Brick Road and deadlier than a field of poppies. But does Toby Peters possess enough brains, heart and courage to solve this bizarre case before he becomes the latest victim of Hollywood's new Wicked Witch of the West...?
