5.0 out of 5 stars The Agency Saga Continues, 18 April 2008
By Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Savages: A Nameless Detective Novel (Nameless Detective Mysteries) (Hardcover)
What's worse than a disgruntled client? A disgruntled client who comes back for more investigation of the same person. That's what Nameless faces when former, unhappy client Celeste Ogden insists she wants to hire Nameless again to find out how her brother-in-law killed Ogden's sister, Nancy Mathias. Mathias died of a fall home alone while her husband was out of town with a good alibi.

In the background, Kerry is recovering from surgery to remove a cancerous lump and is receiving radiation therapy. But it's a relief in one way because at least Nameless knows what's bothering her, a subject of much concern in Mourners where her stand-offish behavior had him worried. Questions about her family background have also been answered.

The agency is doing well. While Nameless has been withdrawn to help Kerry, a new part-time employee, Alex Chavez, has joined the firm. Tamara Corbin, his young partner, and Jake Runyon, the sad-eyed widower, work hard to grow the business.

The book has another major plot which involves Jake delivering a subpoena and taking on more than he anticipated in the process. I like Jake as a character and the stories where he operates on his own are always good ones. Jake is a noir, depressed San Francisco version of Spenser with an equal sense of standing up for the underdogs in life. I wonder if one of the future novels will be all about Jake. I would like that.

Remember that darkness lies in the heart of humans as you read this novel. It's a wonderful throwback to the 1930s noir detective stories, but dressed up on today's issues and language. Very nice!

I found the book to be less compelling than Mourners (which is one of the best books in the series) so don't expect anything quite that good here.
