An ambitious, divorced Detroit newscaster hires Amos Walker to locate his missing, estranged son. Through his ex-wife and step-sister, Amos gets connected to the affluent Grosse Pointe drug scene, their dealer, and the son’s mysterious girlfriend. Then, she shows up at Walker’s office because she found the missing son murdered in their kitchen, and wants his help to escape across the border (to Windsor, Ontario), clearly running from something. Along the way, Walker duels with good cops, bad cops, crooked DAs, clueless Feds, and a scary, accomplished hitman, who ties into the story in an interesting and unexpected way. Walker is a gritty, but witty P.I. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

A PI scours Detroit for a newscaster's missing son: "[Estleman] remains among the top echelon of American private-eye specialists" (The New York Times). On screen, Sandy Broderick is everything a newscaster is supposed to be. He has a deep voice, a ten-thousand-watt smile, and the God-given ability to banter with weathermen until his ears fall off. But when the cameras turn off, he has a private problem: His twenty-year old son, Bud, has disappeared. Amos Walker is going to find him. The boy and his junkie girlfriend are both gone, and Broderick is terrified--not for his son, but for his career. The station is about to do an exposé on drugs in Detroit, and the newscaster doesn't want his boy's addict girlfriend to get in the way of his Pulitzer. This new client may be sleazy, but Walker handles scum for a living, and it's time to go to work. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Loren D. Estleman including rare photos from the author's personal collection. No library descriptions found. |
