"Angel Eyes"

This is the third Amos Walker book I have read, and like the other two, it is a good, quick read. Refresher, Amos Walker is a P.I. in Detroit. Served in Vietnam as an MP, and quit the Detroit Police Academy after returning from the war.

In this book, he is contacted by a go-go dancer (this takes place in like 1980 or 81) who believes she is going to be kidnapped in next couple of days or so. She schedules a meeting with Walker at her apartment after her shift. When Walker shows up he finds a guy that tried to mug him a couple of hours earlier outside of the go-go joint dead of a gunshot wound and his client missing.

Walker keeps stumbling onto murder scenes before the police do, and seems to be one step ahead of them with questioning people as well, much to the displeasure of the homicide lieutenant detective handing the case.

As before, the sense of humor is there from time to time, and as always it makes it easier to picture things since I am familiar with the setting. It probably helps make the book more enjoyable.
