It all started on a hot and unusually muggy day in L.A. That's when Miss Frump knocked on the door to Johnny Spicer's office in the First National Bank building at Hollywood and Highland. She was there on behalf of her employer, Miss Bette Davis, and the case Miss Davis needed Spicer's help with was so bizarre, it became Spicer's third novel-length caper. This time H. P. Oliver's wise-cracking Hollywood gumshoe looks deeply into those famous Bette Davis eyes when the actress hires him to recover a $100,000 piece of African tribal art stolen from her home during a party with an Oscar-winning guest list. It's solving capers like this one that earned Spicer a reputation as Hollywood's go to private eye when the chips are down. Spicer's search for the missing objet d'art, known as the Ivonya-Ngia Tembo statuette, puts him hot on the trail of two cold-blooded killers who lead him on a treacherous high-speed chase from one end of California to the other, and Johnny brings you along in the passenger seat as he tells this hair-raising tale in his own words right up to the thrilling climax when he risks life and limb for the sake of art. Along the way you'll meet many of the real-life characters and encounter the plausible, but ironic and unpredictable plot twists that are synonymous with an H. P. Oliver mystery/thriller. Oh, in case you're wondering, "Tembo" is Swahili for "elephant." Now ain't ya glad you asked?

Entertaining Mystery, Engaging History, and Witty PI Spicer By LVReader The missing objet d'art, the Ivonya-Ngia Tembo statuette, a little elephant, caused so much mayhem. No personality conflicts driving animosity, blowgun darts, bullets, a rattlesnake booby-trap, explosions and murders - just a search for a little, albeit expensive, object.The pacing is good, compelling in that it was difficult to pick a place to stop -- smooth storytelling. The story develops rapidly, but HPO also makes the characters real and interesting as people.H.P. Oliver has hit the groove with Private Detective Johnny Spicer, an enjoyable period persona that a reader of the series has come to know. Characters integral to Spicer's personal and business life are also nicely developed – we learn more about girlfriend Susan Jackson and her work as a nurse; the relationship with newcomer Sergeant Salvino starts out slightly antagonistic and develops into grudging trust.The portrayal of Bette Davis in 1940 is what I would have expected her to be like, based on my limited knowledge of her early career. Clearly HPO has done his research to hit the salient traits and to successfully weave her into the mystery.The details of the era are excellent. HPO’s historical mysteries always make me a little awestruck about how much things have changed, and how quickly time passes – what was new is now a protected landmark, or succumbed to demolition.HPO brings the period back to life as the chase for Tembo laps southern, northern and central California. Flying in a DC-3 over the Central Valley, having dinner at El Rancho, the grand building architecture of the early 20th century, automobiles, the music that defined that generation…and check out HPO’s Visualizations online for the coolest 1940 hotel room at the Shangri-La.The mystery is entertaining, the history engaging, with witty PI Spicer once again leading the way.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that I couldn't put it down until I got to the end, and that ending is typical of H.P. Oliver's writing skill - I had no idea what was coming!I have enjoyed all of this author's books, so much so that when a friend said she wanted some mysteries to read during an upcoming long trip, I ordered all of H.P. Oliver's books for her, not just the Johnny Spicer ones, but his other books as well. I know she'll find them as enjoyable as I have.Every time I finish one of these books, I can't wait until the next one appears.
