Mrs Rayellen Stutch, the young widow of one of Detroit's most powerful industrialists had a little job for the smart and cynical private eye Amos Walker. Wanting to unload part of her enormous inheritance on the illegitimate offspring of her late husband, she needed Walker to find them. And show them the money. It's a simple case...until Walker discovers the would-be millionaires are the textbook dysfunctional family. The battered wife is on the run, the abusive husband is packing a gun and the kid is caught in between. Walker couldn't expect what comes next: an act of horrifying violence that leaves a beautiful woman dead and a boy kidnapped. He must now lay siege to the sprawling fortress of the Stutch Motors factory. The stage is set for a bloody payoff, and trapped in the middle is a private eye who can remember when cars had fins and a city had a dream.

Review:
"'Estleman is a superb stylist as well as a deft storyteller; he paints his people and his city with acerbic wit and wry affection.' San Diego Union Tribune 'Amos Walker is on my short list of hard-boiled private eyes with staying power...the dependable, wide-bodied model in a classic line.' New York Times 'Walker (is) one of the most appealing fictional sleuths working today...Estleman is a consistently excellent storyteller...this excellent series keeps getting better and better.' Chicago Tribune 'Extraordinarily observant narration, intelligent dialogue, memorable characters - and style to spare.' Publishers Weekly 'I'm a big admirer of Loren Estleman...He has total mastery of the noir form and a beautiful command of English.' Sara Paretsky, author of Bitter Medicine"
