- Private investigators, Ghost stories, Fiction
"All one-time actor and unlicensed matrimonial private eye Clark Gable has to do is impersonate a wealthy scriptwriter for a few hours, and sign the contract for the biopic of the inventor of a device which has changed the world of entertainment forever. What could go wrong? Already, he's seeing ghosts--but that's nothing unusual. Europe is devastated by war and America is sleep-walking into Fascism--but what's that got to do with him?"--Publisher's description.
