Monkey in the Middle

Monkey in the Middle: A hard-boiled mystery from the master of the genre
From Loren D. Estleman, the recipient of the Private Eye Writers of America Lifetime Achievement Award, comes his next enthralling Amos Walker mystery, Monkey in the Middle.
Private eye Amos Walker doesn't have the luxury of hearing no evil. When a young, would-be investigative journalist comes to him for protection, Walker finds himself embroiled in a web of secrets and lies. The journalist is suspiciously vague about why he needs help and from whom, and he's not the only one keeping Walker in the dark.
A retired bestselling author, a fugitive whistleblower, a headline-hungry defense attorney, and a career assassin with a history with Walker all seem to be hiding something. Not to mention the covert government agencies pursuing their own mysterious agendas.
As Walker seeks answers, he discovers a dead body—and enough trouble to put him on ice for good. To unravel the mystery and protect his client, the Detroit PI must navigate a shadowy world where no one is telling the whole truth.
Filled with Estleman's signature hard-boiled prose and gritty noir atmosphere, Monkey in the Middle is a gripping tale of murder, secrets, and the search for justice on the streets of the Motor City.
