- Synopsis
- Bill Pronzini's Nameless Detective, who has been called the most dynamic, evolving, human protagonist in detective fiction returns in this powerful new noir thriller. Was it a case of industrial homicide? For twenty years, Frank Hanauer had been in business with Thomas Lujack, until one dark night outside the factory they owned on the outskirts of San Francisco, a Cadillac Seville runs down and kills Hanauer. The owner of the Caddy? Lujack. The driver? Witnesses say it was Lujack; but Lujack swears he's innocent and he hires the Nameless Detective to find out who framed him. And why. The investigation takes Nameless into San Francisco's blue-collar community and the rough-and-tumble bars and backrooms where poker games thrive, deals are made, and dreams are lost forever. There's a set-up, all right, but as Nameless gets deeper and deeper into the case, there's only one thing he's sure of: He's the one being set up. But for what?
