The Reluctant Hollywood P.I.: An anthology of 12 short stories

Více o knize

During the ten years William Karl Thomas collaborated with comedian Lenny Bruce on screenplays and comedy material in the 1950's and 60's, one of his bread and butter jobs was as a private investigator working for a leading Hollywood agency. His misadventures there included everything from being a bodyguard for damsels in distress to bugging the homes of suspected unfaithful spouses, dealing with snakes and coyotes that got in the way, and occasionally saving a life. While names are changed to protect the innocent and the guilty, these stories are based on actual cases and told in the first person voice of a man who just wanted to be an artist and was reluctant to invade the privacy of Hollywood's 'A' list celebrities.
