Description
Time is running out for surrealist painter Salvador Dalí and a 1940s Hollywood PI: "Fast-paced, well-plotted, consistently funny" ( The Philadelphia Inquirer ). Talk about surreal! An ax-wielding monk hacks at a door, while on the other side private detective Toby Peters is running as fast as his recently broken leg will allow, alongside Salvador Dalí, dressed in a rabbit suit, repeatedly muttering "grasshoppers" as they try to make their escape. It all started when Dalí hired a gang of burglars to steal three of his own paintings—a publicity stunt that spiraled out of control when the thieves refused to give the missing masterpieces back. Dalí hired Peters to find the artwork, but now it seems the pair may have painted themselves into a corner. "The flamboyant prankster-artist [Dalí] holds his own among the hero's circle of zany friends in Mr. Kaminsky's Technicolor fantasy of 1940's Hollywood." — The New York Times "Once again Kaminsky mixes the real—in this case the surreal—with the fictional for a quick-paced, clever revisionist Hollywood romp." — Publishers Weekly
