Near Fine in Very Good jacket. Book 1st edition, February 1991, so stated with complete number line beginning with 1. About fine in dust jacket with light wear at edges, light rubbing, and one small tear. A nameless private eye in San Francisco, California, is featured in the nineteenth book in this series. "Pronzini's "Nameless" San Francisco detective and his partner Eberhardt are trying to prove that their client Thomas Lujack did not mow down his business partner with his car. Although he suspects his client's guilt early on, the 58-year-old gumshoe spends three weeks looking for flaws in the testimony of the hit-and-run's sole witness. Then Lujack is found murdered, the witness disappears, and the detective, instead of being asked to step up his investigation, is discharged by the victim's brother Coleman. In full moral outrage, the veteran detective bulldogs his way through the case, uncovering evidence about the brothers' employment of illegal immigrants. Two-time Shamus Award-winner Pronzini ( Shackles ) delivers rapid-fire dialogue, surprising plot twists and even satisfying fisticuffs on a fog-laden rocky beach..."--Publishers Weekly.
