Read Never Street Storyline:
Detroit private investigator Amos Walker has accepted a missing-persons case. Neil Catalin, a video entrepreneur, disappeared after watching "Pitfall", a Dick Powell potboiler that features a smoldering beauty, a hormone-driven private eye, and a murderously jealous lover. For Walker, the clues will be found somewhere among those black-and-white film images--only the truth he finds will be as real and ugly as the darkest recesses of a killer's mind.Amazon.com ReviewBreak out the beer and bar snacks, because Detroit's favorite private detective--Amos Walker--is back after a seven-year hiatus. Loren Estleman personifies the term "professional writer"--he writes everything from historical novels to westerns with the same sure hand. But he's at his best getting under Walker's tough, prickly hide, using him to show what life in Detroit does to its inhabitants. This outing is a pure noir gem--a black and white movie classic in a book which in fact deals with a man obsessed with old gangster films. Previous Walkers available in paperback include City of Widows, Sugartown. From Library JournalDetroit p.i. Amos Walker returns after a lengthy hiatus. As he investigates the disappearance of a businessman obsessed with gangster movies, Amos finds movie-type suspects: a cold wife, a luscious mistress, and a deceitful business partner. Classic work.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.Pages of Never Street :
