A missing boy forces Detroit PI Amos Walker to investigate a long-cold case It is hardly unusual for an elderly woman to ask Amos Walker to search for her grandchild. As a private detective in one of the country's roughest cities, tracking missing persons is the way he makes most of his money. But Martha Evancek's grandson Michael has been missing for nearly twenty years, having disappeared in the aftermath of a murder.   When Michael's father was laid off from the Chrysler plant, he quarreled with his wife and then reached for his shotgun, killing her, his daughter, and finally himself. An eleven-year-old Michael was left to find the bodies, and he vanished soon after. Now, for the old woman's sake, Amos Walker takes up a cold scent. He expects to find nothing, but he's in for an unpleasant surprise.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Loren D. Estleman including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
