A Fatal Glass of Beer (Unabridged) Audio Book

Description:

W.C. Fields may be Hollywood's reigning jester, but he's no fool. For 40 years he's cached over a million dollars of his lucre under assumed names in dozens of banks all over the country. But now a man who calls himself Lester O. Hipnoodle, a public menace with a mysterious score to settle, has somehow lifted the great man's bankbooks and roams the nation, cleaning out Fields' deposits.

As Toby Peters, the private eye to the stars, and Fields pursue their quarry, Hipnoodle taunts them with tantalizing clues and harries them with the occasional bullet. The ugly specter of the Ku Klux Klan and the immortal profile of John Barrymore cast their enigmatic shadows across their path. Then an additional, mysterious desperado lights on their tail, whose interest lies not in grabbing Fields' fortune but in canceling his, and Toby's, accounts. Permanently.
