Product Details

Product Description

Review

Forbes Estleman's intriguing, frequently malignant or low-life characters are richly drawn, truly three-dimensional. Mystery aficionados compare his prose to Ross Macdonald's and Raymond Chandler's. As a Macdonald fan, I can testify this writer does that master one better.


Product Description

Mistakes can be fatal in the private-eye business so when Amos Walker offers his services to a crippled cop's pretty blonde wife for free, he should have seen the warning signs. This is the third book in the series of Amos Walker mysteries, following on from "Motor City Blue" and "Angel Eyes".

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Pass This One Over, Oct 25 2001
By "frnick" (savannah, ga. United States) - See all my reviews
There are a lot of better known writers today. But, there are none better than Estelman.The Amos Walker series is fun, exciting and challenging. Strong characters and good stories. If you like noir mysteries and the Chandler hardboiled style, you'll love Estelman. This entry is one of his finest. But, whatever Estelman(Amos Walker) book you begin with, you cannot go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent entry in the Amos Walker series, Mar 17 2001
By Brian D. Rubendall (Oakton, VA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"The Midnight Man" is a bit darker than usual for an Amos Walker novel. Death hangs omnipresent as the intrepid Walker tries to bring a cop killer to justice before he is killed by the police. Along the way he encounters black militants, a bounty hunter, a sex-starved cop's wife and more dead bodies than he would care to count. Author Loren D. Estleman runs his hero through the wringer in this adventure and it is a great ride indeed. Walker is everything a great P.I. ought to be, tough, sarcastic, somewhat alcoholic and beholden to a his own private code of justice. He is Phillip Marlowe updated for modern times.

This "I-Book" edition features the added bonus of an essay by the author regarding his inspiriations for the novel. Addtionally, it also has an Amos Walker short story, "Redneck" that comes along at the end like the desert to a fine meal. Overall a very worthwhile package.
