Item #19566 SWEET WOMEN LIE. Loren D. Estleman.

SWEET WOMEN LIE.

Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1990. Octavo, cloth backed boards. First edition. An Amos Walker, private investigator novel. "Dizzyingly complex, requiring many closing pages of plot exposition; and the harsh spy-vs.-spy stuff ill-suits the low-key Walker. But, as always, Estleman's expert pacing, stylish writing, and somber sense of place and character--every dive, every face tinged with tragedy--raise this above the average, and occasionally into the sublime." - Kirkus review, 4/1/90. 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. (19566). Item #19566
