Loren D. Estleman's most popular characters, PI Amos Walker and hit man Peter Macklin, are together in one story for the first time in Black and White Ball!
Detroit hit man Peter Macklin forces private eye Amos Walker to furnish protection for Laurie, Macklin's estranged wife, while Macklin tracks down the party who has threatened to kill her. The man Walker's client suspects cannot be ignored; as his own grown son, Roger Macklin has inherited all the instincts, and acquired all the training, necessary to carry out his threat. Told partly by Walker in first-person and partly by Macklin in third, Black and White Ball places the detective squarely between two remorseless killers, with death waiting whether he succeeds or fails."Full of vivid characters and snappy dialogue, this entry will delight old fans and garner new ones."--Publishers Weekly
"His dialogue rivals that of the late Elmore Leonard." --Booklist "Don't Look for Me is so old-school, with its world-weary private eye, cynical villains and sultry dames, that it's new again." --The New York Times Book Review
