Amos Walker's Detroit (Painted Turtle Book) (Painted Turtle Books)
Amos Walker s Detroit is an unalloyed delight, even if Detroit isn t your favorite town. If you re not already an Estleman fan (and everyone in the country should be), this book is a wonderful way to get to know him. Open any page at random and you ll get pith, wit, taste, wisdom, or a chuckle, and probably all of the above. And the best news is that Estleman already has a brilliant series of Amos Walker books out there, every one of them a gem. --John Lescroart, New York Times best-selling author of The Suspect, The Hunt Club, and the Dismas Hardy/Abe Glitsky seriesAmos Walker s view of Detroit, cleverly crafted through the words of Loren Estleman, is unlike any other: candidly earthy, with all the crustiness of a freshly-baked loaf of French bread. Monte Nagler s photos top if off like fine wine, creating a perfect pairing of extraordinary realism. --Colleen Burcar, Detroit radio and television personality and author of Michigan Curiosities and You Know You re in Michigan When . . .Loren s words and Monte s photos combine powerfully. They reveal a city that occasionally breaks your heart but frequently captures it. --Roger Weber, reporter at WDIV-TV, Detroit
