Descriptions du produit

From Amazon.com

Break out the beer and bar snacks, because Detroit's favorite private detective--Amos Walker--is back after a seven-year hiatus. Loren Estleman personifies the term "professional writer"--he writes everything from historical novels to westerns with the same sure hand. But he's at his best getting under Walker's tough, prickly hide, using him to show what life in Detroit does to its inhabitants. This outing is a pure noir gem--a black and white movie classic in a book which in fact deals with a man obsessed with old gangster films. Previous Walkers available in paperback include City of Widows, Sugartown. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.


From Library Journal

Detroit p.i. Amos Walker returns after a lengthy hiatus. As he investigates the disappearance of a businessman obsessed with gangster movies, Amos finds movie-type suspects: a cold wife, a luscious mistress, and a deceitful business partner. Classic work.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Good, Not as good as previous novels..., Juil 25 2003
Par SereneNight (California, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Never Street is an excellent addition to the Amos Walker series. After a client turns missing, Amos must investigate, leading him into the seamy underworld of blackmail and betrayal and one man's obsession with noir film.

While I liked Never Street, I am not a big fan of 'old movies,' which I felt was an underlying theme in this installment. Film Noir is a genre, I think that is much better 'viewed' than read about. Overall, another light, entertaining read with plenty of puns and snappy comebacks, sure to delight fans of the rest of the series.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Walker, Back from Beyond, Aoû 5 2001
Par Brian D. Rubendall (Oakton, VA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
After a seven year absence, tough guy Detroit private detective Amos Walker returned in 1997 with "Never Street." I'm a huge fan of P.I. fiction, and Walker is one of the best around. He doesn't work the streets of Detroit so much as he INHABITS them. "Never Street" is longer and more complex than any Walker story up until that time as Amos tries to find a missing video producer and noir film buff who appears to be acting out his fantasy of sisappearing into one of his movies. For any fan of classic film noir, this is a MUST read. As a mystery, it reads reasonably well, although is not nearly as good as the best of the Walker series (novels such as "Sugartown" and "The Glass Highway"). Walker novels suffer a bit from too little reliance on supporting characters. Reappearing cops John Alderdyce and Mary Ann Thaler make a brief turn here, but only in the background of the story. Walker does have a rare romance this time out, and that helps give the story a bit of a lift.

Overall, fans of Amos Walker should enjoy this entry in the series. His is a welcome return.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A Must If You Must, Juil 11 1999
Par Un client
If, for some reason, you must read books that are well written, with tough talking, wise-cracking, good intentioned, interesting, likeable private eyes who live in the atmospheric pages of a master crime writer, then you must read this book. Great fun for lovers of the hard-boiled genre. Read all of Estelman's Amos Walker series and you'll be have something to measure all the rest by.
