Amos Walker's Detroit - Painted Turtle Book
Author: Loren D. Estleman

Amos Walker s Detroit visits dozens of unforgettable locations from Loren D. Estleman s Amos Walker series. As Estleman says of Detroit in the preface: It s a hard-boiled town, and the crumbling buildings and rusting railroad tracks of the warehouse district, the palaces across the limits in Grosse Pointe, and the black-hole shadows of the Cass... more » Corridor were made to order for a remaindered knight chasing truth through a maze of threats, deceptions, and inconvenient corpses. City and protagonist are cut from the same coarse cloth. They are the series two heroes.

Amos Walker s Detroit allows Estleman s settings to take center stage as noted photographer Monte Nagler turns his lens to Estleman s various noir locations. Some locations are well-known landmarks, like the Renaissance Center, the Wayne County Building, Belle Isle, and Mexicantown, and some are fictional locales such as Walker s home and office. Even when the locations are familiar, Nagler s lens renders them in fresh and unexpected ways. Excerpts from Estleman s novels describing the locations accompany each image and Estleman s thoughtful introduction contextualizes the images and comments on the role of Detroit as a noir backdrop.

The photographs in Amos Walker s Detroit show the city in a new light, demonstrating that Detroit s grit and glamour coexist in unexpected places and make a perfect setting for a mystery. Fans of the Amos Walker series, as well as those interested in photography, architecture, and local culture will appreciate this handsome volume.
