Item #19563 DOWNRIVER. Loren D. Estleman.

DOWNRIVER.

Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1988. Octavo, cloth backed boards. First edition. An Amos Walker, private investigator novel. "At his best Mr. Estleman is one of the major current practitioners of the tough-guy private-eye novel, and he is at his best here. The dialogue is crackling, the writing is unpadded, and one can smell and even taste the city of Detroit. It was in ''Motor City Blue'' eight years ago that Mr. Estleman first put Amos Walker on the streets of Detroit. He was bigger than life then, and he has remained so - a streetwise, indestructible tiger with an ethical code that keeps him with the good guys." - Newgate Callendar, NY Times book review, 3/6/88. Pederson (ed.), St. James Guide to Crime and Mystery Writers, (4th ed.), pp. 343-344. See Pronzini and Muller, 1001 Midnights, The Aficionado's Guide to Mystery and Detective Fiction, pp. 238. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. (19563). Item #19563
