About this ebook
“For readers who can’t get enough of Elmore Leonard and Ross Thomas, try Estleman. He’s that good” (People).
Barry Stackpole was tough once. Amos Walker met him in a Cambodian shell crater when Walker was serving his country and Stackpole was on the payroll of the DetroitNews, and they formed the kind of bond that war often creates. At war’s end, they returned to the Motor City, where Stackpole took to reporting crimes and Walker to solving them. A violent run-in with a big time mobster left Stackpole a leg and two fingers short, and he became an alcoholic. He has made several attempts to get his life straight since, but never quite managed. Now he’s fallen off the wagon again, harder than ever before, and his girlfriend begs Walker to find him before he drinks himself to death. But in Detroit, death can find a man in many ways. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Loren D. Estleman including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5To paraphrase author John D. MacDonald (Travis McGee series); Estleman's Amos Walker is "one of the few characters who would be comfortable communing with his Ft. Lauderdale knight in shining armor". High praise indeed from one of the "Masters" of the genre.
With the recent demise of most of my favorite mystery authors (Robert B.Parker,Dick Francis,Phillip R. Craig, William Tapply and Stuart M. Kaminsky)I'm extremely gratified to find Loren Estleman who I've somehow missed during my 62 years of existence. I'm in the process of rectifying this oversight with great pleasure.
He writes some fantastic Westerns as well! Look for his Page Murdock series and a superb stadalone entitled "Sudden Country".
