About this ebook
As a favor to his brother, Toby Peters does a job for a fading Hollywood diva.
You can't trust a man who's dressed as Mae West, especially not in Mae West's house. One of Hollywood's earliest sex symbols, the whip-smart blonde's star has fallen since the Hays Code cracked down on the racy repartee that made her famous. Her latest project is a thinly veiled autobiographical novel, whose only copy is stolen just after she finishes her first draft. Tonight she's having a Mae West party, with every guest a man dressed as her. The thief is among those in drag, and Toby Peters has come to tear off his wig.
He's there as a favor to his brother, a brutal cop who had a fling with West when she first moved to Hollywood. But this is more than a theft. The crook wants to destroy Mae West, and he has murder on his mind.

Reviews for He Done Her Wrong
12 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5"The opening of this book came to me in a dream.
I have a friend named Gordon Hom. I saw him standing, dressed like Mae West, next to a pool surrounded by Mae Wests."
-Stuart M. Kaminsky
And so this novel begins, with Toby surrounded by Mae Wests, blackmail, murder, madness, and a brief stay in an asylum. All this and Toby's client is his own brother, who is looking out for an old flame: Ms West, herself.
Fun and a worthy addition to this great mystery series.
