Motor City Blue

Amos Walker, a tough-talking Detroit detective, will delight mystery buffs. Loren D. Estleman has written a series of fast-paced mysteries which occur in the Motor City where murders are committed nightly within full view of the glittering Renaissance Center.

In "Motor City Blue", Walker is hired by an ex-gangster named Ben Morningstar to find his missing ward Marla. His only clue is a black and white glossy of the type sold under the counter in "those" kinds of bookstores. While slugging his way to the solution to this case, Amos witnesses a kidnapping of an old Vietnam friend and solves the murder of a young black labor leader.

Estleman writes with a definite sense of style and contagious feeling for the rhythms of life in the inner city.
