"Look for us when the moon is new. Look for us, but keep your distance. We're the Midnight Men, and the prey we're stalking could be you."
In the private eye business, mistakes can be fatal. Just ask Amos Walker.
First, he pulls his gun on a man he thought was a member of a group of potential truck hijackers. Even goes so far as to fire a round at the suspicious driver to make him step from his car. Only trouble is, the guy -- Van Sturtevant -- is a cop.
Then, after Sturtevant is crippled in a shootout with a gang of black militants, Walker -- figuring he owes the cop for letting him off the hook -- offers his investigatory services to the officer's pretty, blond wife, Karen. At no charge.
If Walker had been paying attention, he would have seen the warning signs. But now bodies are going to start piling up, with politicians, private eyes, and members of Detroit's Finest on the giving and receiving ends.
Yes, mistakes can be fatal. And if Walker doesn't watch his back, the next one will definitely be his last....
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. -- Review
The Bookcassetteยฎ format is a special recording technique developed as a means of condensing the full, unabridged audio text of a book to record it on fewer tapes. In order to listen to these tapes, you will need a cassette player with balance control to adjust left/right speaker output. Special adaptors to allow these tapes to be played on any cassette player are available through the publisher or some US retail electronics stores.
