<DIV><b>Toby hunts for the man who wants to kill a fallen star of silent film<BR><BR></b></div><DIV></div><DIV>As Toby Peters crouches behind a tombstone, hiding from a crazed gunman, the private eye thinks of Charlie Chaplin. A few days earlier, the pioneer of film comedy sat in Toby&rsquo;s office, and told him of the hundreds of people who want him dead. Beloved when his public could not hear him speak, his political leanings have made him a pariah. Right-wing radicals, the Ku Klux Klan, and the fathers of the innumerable young women Chaplin has deflowered have all threatened the &ldquo;Little Tramp.&rdquo; But now someone has broken into Chaplin&rsquo;s house with a long knife, telling him to quit making movies and leave Fiona Sullivan alone. Chaplin has never heard of Fiona, and wants Toby to find out why he&rsquo;s supposed to stay away.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Toby Peters is about to learn a lesson Chaplin learned years ago: If you want to stay alive in Los Angeles, keep your mouth shut.</div>
