<DIV><b>A counter-espionage job leads to Toby Peters facing the barrel of a gun</b></div><DIV></div><DIV>After midnight, NBC Studios is as quiet as a grave. For Toby Peters, it may as well be a sealed coffin. He came on a stakeout, and has spent hours in the dark of a television soundstage waiting for the appearance of a man with a silenced pistol. The killer has already taken three lives, and Peters&rsquo;s may be the next. After a long wait, Peters&rsquo;s dulled reflexes let the gunman get the drop on him. A frantic chase through the deserted studio leaves Peters shoeless, gunless, and out of ideas. Finally the killer corners him and prepares to fire.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>The stakeout was Howard Hughes&rsquo;s idea. Earlier that week, the aviation magnate hired Peters to investigate the theft of top-secret blueprints from his home. What starts as counter-espionage turns into a murder investigation, and Peters finds himself in the uncomfortable role of murderer&rsquo;s bait.</div>
