Review
"Hard-edged, relentless, and satisfying. Amos Walker is dauntless, incorruptible, and underpaid, which is just what a private eye should be".
NEWSDAY
Product Description
'I'm going to disappear, Mr. Walker. Very suddenly and very soon.' .
Ann Maringer is a go-go dancer with a problem: her life is in danger, and she is certain that her end is coming soon. Her only hope is Amos Walker-a hot-tempered, Detroit based private eye with a caustic wit and a talent for getting into trouble. A guy who 'sticks like nuclear fallout, ' according to a former client. .
When Ann disappears, Walker is hot on her trail. But this is no ordinary case, as the private eye soon learns-not when a union boss, a corrupt judge, a vengeful son, and a concerned mistress are just some of the players involved. .
And not when all of them want him dead?...

Classic PI fiction
6 April 2000
Format:Paperback
If you're a fan of PI fiction, and you're not reading Estleman's Amos Walker series, you're missing out on some of the best in the genre. Amos is a true gem, an underdog that can't say no and who's unwilling to give up, even if it would save his own skin. A wonderful character worth cheering for!

Good Plot, Excellent Characterization...
25 Mar 2003
Format:Paperback
I listened to the unabridged audio version of this novel, and I really enjoyed it: with two caveats: the narrator read the novel WAY too fast, so that sometimes I felt myself wanting to ask him to SLOW DOWN. The second problem I had with this novel, was the recording. Either I received a flawed version, or there was something wrong with the print run. When it said to reverse to the other side, and adjust the balance control, sometimes, the side which I reversed to would be incorrect. (This appeared to be only on one tape, and the others functioned perfectly, so I was STILL able to enjoy the book, it just was a mite confusing to figure out which side I needed to be on).
Onto the plot: This is a typical Amos Walker novel. Amos is a tough-talking, one-liner spewing Private Investigator living in Detroit. He is hired by a blue-eyed stripper to investigate her own disappearance (?). Yes that's right. What follows is a series of events involving a pair of evil policemen, a Union Boss, and a corrupt ex-judge. In typical Amos form, Amos bulldogs his way through the mystery with some unexpected results.
A great addition to your Amos Walker collection... Boy I wish I could have as much imagination as Loren D. The one-liners alone make this story!

The "Eyes" Have it
7 Mar 2001
Format:Paperback
The second entry into the Amos Walker private detective series is not quite as strong as the debut, "Motor City Blue." Still, there is plenty of good stuff for fans of the genre. Walker is a wise cracking tough guy and Estleman writes with the immediacy and poetry of masters such as Raymond Chandler and John D. MacDonald. Walker is a much a part of his native Detroit as the Tigers. This entry in the series takes Walker on a sidetrip to a sleepy bedroom community that adds more fun to the storyline. Overall, Walker is one of the best hardboiled P.I.s around.
A word about the i-books publications that are reprinting Estleman's Walker novels. These are fine quality paperbacks, each of which features bonus material, in this case a short essay by Estleman about the novel and how he came up with his ideas. It is like the cherry on a fine dessert.
