Despite his crusade to combat evil, Tokol's past catches up with him when he's marked for death by Janus, a former confederate. As the amorously adventurous, sexually equivocal Tokol battles hit men, kidnappers, mobsters, blackmailers, Chinese tongs, spies, and Nazis, he courts celebs such as George and Ira Gershwin, Groucho Marx, Woody Guthrie, Howard Hughes, Orson Welles, Clarence Darrow, and Walter Winchell. Tokol's battle for truth and justice leads him to an unexpected horror in Algiers on the eve of America's entry into World War Two.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003ePRAISE FOR THE ASSASSINATION OF AMBROSE BIERCE: A LOVE STORY BY DON SWAIM: \u003c\/b\u003e \"Swaim weaves an engrossing web-work of literary references, historical detail, and ingenuous imagination.
