About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Stuart M. Kaminsky (1934-2009) was one of the most prolific crime fiction authors of the last four decades. Born in Chicago, Kaminsky penned more than sixty novels over his lifetime. In 1981's Death of a Dissident, Kaminsky debuted Moscow police detective Porfiry Rostnikov, whose stories were praised for their accurate depiction of Soviet life. He died in St. Louis in 2009.
Toby Peters's fans will be pleased with THE FALA FACTOR, a romp featuring President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's dog, Fala. Fala has been dognapped by a group of greedy, entreprenurial right-wing agitators and has been replaced with Fala look-alike. Mrs. Roosevelt hires Toby Peters to find and return the "first dog" before an international incident occurs. The story unfolds in California, and Buster Keaton appears in a few scenes. The book is read with energy and gusto by Stuart M. Kaminsky. Toby Peters is at his wackiest and is accompanied by his usual sidekicks, the dirt-attracting dentist, S. David Minck, and his landlady, the plucky and redoubtable Mrs. Plaut. As Mrs. Roosevelt appears in several scenes, much of the book's success as a listening experience depends upon a faithful rendering of her voice, which most Americans over 40 know well and which Kaminsky manages skillfully.
