About

Detective Masuto investigates a Hollywood mogul's sudden death The residents of Beverly Hills tend to underestimate a Buddhist homicide detective, and Masao Masuto is happy to let them make that mistake. A second-generation Japanese-American, he relishes the thrill of a puzzling murder case. And Masuto will need all his powers of deduction to understand the murder of Al Greenberg.   The producer was giving a party when his heart stopped. After years of bad health, Greenberg's abrupt death is no surprise. But one of the dead man's producing partners claims to have overheard an unknown woman taunting Greenberg, while he pleaded, "put that gun away and give me my medicine." It appears Greenberg was frightened to death. To find the killer, Masuto must dig into the darkest secrets of the mogul's past. Greenberg will not be the last to die.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast including rare photos from the author's estate.
