THE WITCHFINDER.
[New York]: The Mysterious Press / Published by Warner Books:, [1998]. Octavo, boards. First edition. Signed on the title page Estleman. An Amos Walker, private investigator novel. "...when a renowned Detroit architect hires him to find the cad whose cruel and cunning deception turned the architect against the woman he loved. Since this distinguished client is on his deathbed, Walker can't afford to waste any time; but then, Walker never does waste time -- or words, or energy, or anything else. With his classical job skills and austere code of ethics, this no-nonsense shamus is one of the most efficient guys in his profession. ''I'm a traditionalist,'' says Walker, who does his investigating the old-fashioned way (upfront and chin to chin), using an interview technique (he needles people) that works with everyone from yuppie priests to hired killers." - Marilyn Stasio, NY Times book review, 5/17/98.
