In Loren D. Estleman's latest hard-boiled mystery, Detroit PI Amos Walker faces his most perplexing case yet when a dying madam's final request ensnares him in a web of murder spanning five decades.
Amos Walker, the quintessential noir detective, has made a lot of friends--and a few enemies--in his years on the Detroit crime scene. But he's never encountered a case as troubling as when he agrees to fulfill the death-bed wish of Beryl Garnet, a former madam. She asks Walker to locate her long-lost son and ensure he receives her ashes when she's gone.
Walker tracks down Garnet's son in Canada, where he fled as a Vietnam War protester in the 1960s. But shortly after this melancholy reunion, the son is found dead, with Walker the prime suspect in his murder. To clear his name and uncover the truth, Walker must delve into another shocking crime: the decades-old murder of Curtis Smallwood, a boxer who also happens to be the dead man's father.
As Walker navigates the dark underbelly of the past, he finds himself entangled in a mystery where two murders, committed 53 years apart, were inexplicably carried out with the same gun--in a place where the weapon couldn't possibly have been. With Retro, Loren D. Estleman delivers a suspenseful and intricate crime thriller, masterfully weaving together the threads of a haunting mystery that spans generations.
