Расследуя загадочное убийство сэра Дэнверса Кэрью, Скотленд-Ярд оказывается— в тупике. И тогда по личной просьбе королевы Великобритании за дело берется сам Шерлок Холмс. А чуть ранее за помощью к знаменитому сыщику обращается адвокат, уверенный, что его друга и клиента Генри Джекила, известного в Лондоне врача, шантажирует отвратительный тип, некий мистер Хайд. Похоже, оба преступления тесно связаны между собой, причем самым невероятным образом…

The tabloids were full of it. Constance Thayer, after a night of clubbing, drinks, and drugs, had taken an automatic pistol from the collection of her industrialist husband Doyle Thayer Jr. and emptied it into his back, as he lay naked and unconscious in their Iroquois Heights home. The news of Constance Thayer's X-rated past breathed new life into the scandal for another month. Walker's job was to gather enough dirt on the late Mr. Thayer to make his widow look clean by comparison. What he found was a monstrous magnate, a dubious corpse, and a gang of country-style gunrunners.

AN AMOS WALKER MYSTERY Spring has come to Detroit's Sugartown enclave, and Amos Walker would like to feel kindly toward the human race. Unfortunately, his first case of the new season immediately leads him into trouble among the Polish settlers of neighboring Hamtramck, when old Martha Evancek hires him to look for her missing grandson. But even before Walker gets a chance to investigate, he's presented with a second case: an eminent Russian novelist who fears that someone is out to kill him. Walker knows the two cases are connected, but finding that link might cost him his life.

Amos Walker (dauntless, incorruptible and underpaid) is hired to find a reputable newsreader's son who, more often than not, is involved in drugs and women. What Walker finds is far more than he bargained for and, in the end, it's Walker's reputation that is at stake.

Not even a drug war can deter private eye Amos Walker in his quest for the father of an old romance, a legendary trombonist. The trail leads him and the lost man's daughter, Iris, through Detroit's smoky jazz clubs into dens of hard crime, where they will be lucky to escape with their lives.

In Estleman's latest novel, Amos Walker is back on the streets of Detroit as he investigates the mysterious death of an ageing pulp fiction writer.
