4.0 out of 5 stars Not just another hard-boiled detective, November 20, 2002

This was my first encounter with Loren D. Estleman's tough guy detective, Amos Walker, and I was impressed. The setting is Detroit ( a town the author seems to have a strong affinity for) and Amos Walker is called in to resolve a dying man's problem with a guilty conscience. By investigating a faked picture that destroyed a solid relationship, Walker walks into a tangled web of murder and betrayal that only a skilled writer can pull off and keep the reader from becoming totally incredulous. Many red herrings shouldn't keep the careful reader from seeing the ending coming, but the individual by-play between Estleman's "tough guy" and the various characters he deals with is worth the price of admission. I'm glad I checked out this throwback to Marlowe and Spade and I'll definitely check out his other "cases."
