The most commercial, cinematic Amos Walker novel ever

The New York Times - Marilyn Stasio

Besides yielding the usual gunplay and fisticuffs, along with choice baseball metaphors…the well-oiled plot is supple enough to handle the newfangled criminal enterprises that a big-city shamus has to contend with nowadays. But Estleman also delivers some outstanding stuff on the hazards of the profession, including a bone-chilling stakeout on a lonely lake in the dead of night, that could come only from an old pro.
