As a private detective in one of the country's roughest cities, tracking missing persons is the way he makes most of his money. But Martha Evancek's grandson Michael has been missing for nearly twenty years, having disappeared in the aftermath of a murder. When Michael's father was laid off from the Chrysler plant, he quarreled with his wife and then reached for his shotgun, killing her, his daughter, and finally himself. An eleven-year-old Michael was left to find the bodies, and he vanished soon after. Now, for the old woman's sake, Amos Walker takes up a cold scent. He expects to find nothing, but he's in for an unpleasant surprise. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Loren D. Estleman including rare photos from the author's personal collection.

  • "Spring has come to Detroit's Sugartown enclave, and Amos Walker would like to feel kindly toward the human race. Unfortunately, his first case of the new season immediately leads him into trouble among the Polish settlers of neighboring Hamtramck, when old Martha Evancek hires him to look for her missing grandson. But even before Walker gets a chance to investigate, he's presented with a second case: an eminent Russian novelist who fears that someone is out to kill him. Walker knows the two cases are connected, but finding that link might cost him his life."
