Lady Yesterday is one of Loren Estleman's best books, combining an old character or two with a new theme; jazz runs through the book, both the music and the people that play it showing us a side of Detroit life caught as a sepia-toned snapshot of a time long past yet still affecting current events. This is also the last Amos Walker book Mr. Estleman wrote before the seven year hiatus imposed by legal problems with a publisher. The next Amos Walker book is Never Street, and it begins the second half of the Amos Walker series. I enjoyed this book immensely and will probably read it again before some other PBS member snatches it from my greedy grasp.
