"Wisecracking Detroit PI Amos Walker returns in this superb hard-boiled mystery from Shamus winner Estleman. Estleman heightens the stakes with a steadily rising body count, and maneuvers his gumshoe into a satisfying, suspenseful showdown against a worthy adversary. The razor-sharp prose is a bonus. This is a top-shelf crime story. " -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Praise for the Amos Walker series "[An] outstanding 29th hard-boiled mystery.Estleman makes old-school, dogged, hit-the-pavement sleuthing plausible, while peppering the narrative with biting prose. This long-running series shows no sign of flagging." -- Publishers Weekly starred review "His novels--regardless of type--are peppered with humor, irony, and melancholy, and as a narrator, Murdock delivers all three.
A clever plot and a satisfying conclusion round out a very enjoyable read." -- Booklist on The Book of Murdock "Estleman has piled up enough literary awards to add a wing to his home. Read this classic yet modern example of the hard-boiled detective novel and you'll begin to understand why." -- Booklist on Infernal Angels " Don't Look for Me is so old-school, with its world-weary private eye, cynical villains and sultry dames, that it's new again." -- The New York Times Book Review.
