Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. Book 1st. Fine in dj. Amos Walker title; SHAMUS AWARD FINALIST for Best Novel. Detroit. A chance encounter with an old flame sends Detroit PI Amos Walker on a hunt for her long-lost father. Iris was a great beauty when Amos Walker first saw her--a Jamaican goddess striding stark naked through an unworthy whorehouse. When he bumps into her at a high-class steakhouse just outside of Detroit, she still looks good. She's come back from the Caribbean to seek out her father. Raised by her mother, Iris grew up thinking the man was dead, but has just learned the old trombone player may still be alive. Walker offers to dig for him: a welcome-home present for an old flame. The search leads him straight to the dark heart of the Detroit jazz scene, a seedy world where Walker is right at home, and into the crosshairs of some of the cruelest men in a very mean town.
