Produktbeschreibung

Hardboiled noir starring Detroit PI Amos Walker: "For readers who can't get enough of Elmore Leonard and Ross Thomas, try Estleman. He's that good" ( People). After a tour in Vietnam and several years working the streets of Detroit as a private investigator, Amos Walker has seen a lot. But he's never encountered anything quite like his newest assignment. Ann Maringer, an aging stripper hard at work at one of the city's many low-grade joints, hires him to find a missing person: herself. She expects to disappear any day now, she says, and she wants to be found. He goes to her apartment the next day, hoping for more information, but Ann was true to her word and has disappeared completely, leaving behind nothing but a carton of Bel-Airs and a dead man on the floor. Unshaken by the body or the circumstances, Walker sets out to find his client. After all, she paid in advance. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Loren D. Estleman including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
