Spook (2002)

A very enjoyable entry in the Nameless Detective series. A delusional homeless man who talks to ghosts is murdered and workers at a nearby office who only knew him as "Spook" want to know who he was so they can put a name on his grave. The police are investigating it as a homicide, but they aren't getting very far. As Nameless and his two partners,
testy young Tamara and a tightly wound newcomer named Jack Runyon, uncover Spook's haunted past they also inadvertently identify his killer - and put themselves in danger. I must be mellowing; I've always been irrated when first person and third are mixed and matched, but in this case it worked. A good, solid story, well told. ( )
