From the master of the hard-boiled detective novel and recipient of the Private Eye Writers of America Lifetime Achievement Award comes Loren D. Estleman's next enthralling Amos Walker mystery, Smoke on the Water.
As the smoke from Canadian wildfires chokes Detroit, PI Amos Walker is tasked with investigating a fatal hit-and-run. The victim is Spencer Bennett, a junior law associate with the Waterford Group, and he supposedly had a file of confidential documents on him when he died. But those documents have now gone missing, and the firm is dead set on Walker finding them. As Walker digs deeper into the events leading to Bennett's death, all signs are pointing towards the crash being anything but accidental.
Summer in Detroit was hot enough before the smoke descended, but as the temperature rises and more bodies crop up in connection to the missing file, Walker will have to track down those documents — and unearth why they were worth killing over — before it's too late.
At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

      In the thirty-second Amos Walker mystery (the first, Motor City Blue, was published in 1980), the Detroit private investigator is hired to ferret out the truth behind a hit-and-run that claimed the life of a lawyer who was, apparently, in possession of confidential documents--potentially damning to certain individuals--that have since gone missing. As fans of the long-running series know, the case will get a lot more complicated before Amos finds his way to its conclusion. Estleman is such an arrestingly imaginative writer, for example: "The sculptures, in clay and plaster, were mostly classical, centaurs and dryads and a spectacularly endowed goat-man playing a Jew's-harp like it was gutbucket jazz." Reading him is such a joy-filled experience. This is also one of Amos' best cases. Estleman continues to demonstrate why he's at the top of his field.
