A Smile on the Face of the Tiger (Amos Walker, Bk 14)
A Smile on the Face of the Tiger - Amos Walker, Bk 14 Author:Loren D. Estleman "I thought I'd never see her again. But never is longer than forever." She is book editor Louise Starr, a beautiful and scheming ghost from Amos Walker's past -- and she wants the Detroit private eye to find a missing paperback writer from the 1950s and ask him why he turned down his first book contract in 40 years. "You... more »39;re perfect for this job," Louise says. "You're the kind of detective Booth wrote about; the kind they say doesn't exist in real life."
Eugene Booth's trail leads to a rustic motel cabin, where the crusty old pro is hammering out his first novel in decades on a battered Smith-Corona. But when the writer winds up hanging from his own belt, Walker must discover the connection between the apparent suicide, the murder of Booth's wife 40 years before and a deadly secret as old as World War II.« less
