Product Description

A classic American private eyeB>

To hear him tell it, Amos Walker is an unsuccessful man in an obsolete profession. Still, even P.I.s have a sense of honor, and Walker has always been a man who believes in paying back favors that people have done for him over the years. He owes his old friend Barry Stackpole a big one, for saving his life in a Cambodian shell crater a lifetime ago. Now Stackpole, lately a good, hard-scrounging reporter, has vanished. And finding him is the job Walker's been hired for-not once, but twice: first by Stackpole's newspaper, then by an attractive literary editor hot to track down an even hotter book the missing man's been writing. The investigatory trail becomes littered with a bewildering assortment of fresh dead bodies. Walker nearly joins the clutter when somebody rigs his steering and brakes. And a final revelation explosively narrows the distance between the tropical jungles of Asia and the concrete jungles of Detroit-and between one brand of war and another....

In order to listen to these tapes, you will need a cassette player with balance control to adjust left/right speaker output. Special adaptors to allow these tapes to be played on any cassette player are available through the publisher or some US retail electronics stores. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another solid entry in the Amos Walker series, April 7, 2001
"Every Brilliant Eye" is the sixth novel in the Amos Walker private detective series. Walker is a lonely, quick witted and highly principled P.I. who knows his native Detroit inside and out. In this novel, Walker is trying to locate an old friend he served with in Vietnam and in the process reveals more about his past than he ever had previously. He also becomes involved with the bewitching book editor Louise Starr, a holdover character from the previous Walker novel, "Sugartown." The only negative is that the story's police corruption angle is a bit shopworn. The Vietnam angle adds considerable weight and the ending is appropriately violent.

Look for the i-books vintage paperback edition of this novel to be released sometime in Summer 2001. The i-books editions of the Walker series are first rate paperbacks with extra goodies added, including an afterword by the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Tough Guy, eh?, April 14, 2007
By Archmaker (California) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This is my first Loren D. Estleman book featuring his tough Detroit PI, Amos Walker. After the gratifying, but more "honored" works of James Lee Burke and Michael Connelley and Robert Crais, I found Estleman's hard-boiled prose imbued with the tough, wiseguy attitude both refreshing and perfectly pitched to capture the mean streets of the Motor City.

Upon finishing, I bought nearly a dozen of Estleman's Walker books on Amazon, ranging as far back as possible up to the present, and am working my way through this, to me, previously unknown, but very talented, and very prolific author's works. And I am enjoying it immensely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!, April 11, 2003
I'm a big Amos Walker fan, and Every Brilliant Eye was excellent! When Amos, a smart-talking Detroit private investigator is hired to investigate the disappearance of his friend- a Vietnam vet- Amos finds himself at odds with the police and a series of odd-ball thugs, in cluding a union boss and a serial killer.

In true Amos Walker fashion, he smart-talks, and one-liners his way through the plot, never relenting. Estleman has a great flare for writing and description.

Overall, an excellent book, a must-have installment for fans of Amos Walker.
