4.0

This was written about a Detroit PI during the 70s - pre cell phones, internet access, and political correctness. So set your mind back in time and meet Amos Walker, a PI that is generally on the wrong end of fists or guns. In this story he is hired by a "go-go dancer" to find her, if she disappears. The mayhem ensues from there. "The dangers you can count on are problem enough without worrying about something as neurotically unpredictable as a tornado." Estleman, Loren D.. Angel Eyes (Amos Walker Novels Book 2) (Kindle Locations 1117-1118). Open Road Media Mystery & Thriller. Kindle Edition.

Angel Eyes, Loren D. Estleman, B
Amos Walker #2
Detroit, 1980s
First line: The Crescent was a cellar place on Cass, established before Michigan
outlawed public dining and drinking below ground level.
A go-go dancer hires Amos to find a missing person -- herself. Then promptly disappears
leaving behind a very dead man in her apartment. Over the course of the next 36 hours,
Amos finds three more bodies, but no go-go dancer. This second outing was good up
until the last 30 pages or so. Major information dump and explaining things by saying
"she somehow learned this" when you can't think of a single way she could have learned
that. But I have read a book later in the series and I know they do improve.
