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.
EVERY BRILLIANT EYE.
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1986. Octavo, cloth backed boards. First edition. An Amos Walker, private investigator novel. "Mr. Estleman's picture of Detroit is equally gloomy. Yet there is a kind of poetry in his snapshots of the underside of a city with which he so clearly has a love-hate relationship. The writing remains expert. Certainly Mr. Estleman is as good as anyone continuing the Hammett-Chandler tradition." - Newgate Callendar, NY Times book review, 4/20/86. 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.
