Much like author Loren D. Estleman, private detective Amos Walker has long been reluctant to embrace technology; it was not until recently that Walker got his first cell phone. Now, in Infernal Angels, Walker is hired to do a twenty-first–century job—recovering stolen HDTV converter boxes. Before long, the case turns old-school: All the suspects and the man who lost the boxes are murdered, and Walker ends up working with both the local police and the feds of Detroit. The converter boxes were being used to smuggle high-grade heroin that's been killing off junkies left and right, and it's up to Walker to track down the missing dope and the person behind the trail of dead bodies. Old friends and even older enemies will resurface before this story is done, and Walker will have to take a few beatings if he wants to bring the drug smugglers to justice. This old dog still has a few new tricks, and there hasn't been a case yet that Walker couldn't crack.

Received the two Amos Walker novels today. Thanks! I have read a few others by Estleman and enjoy his writing...

A good mystery thriller featuring wise-cracking Detroit PI Amos Walker. I've read a few other books by Estleman and for the most part I have enjoyed them. This is the 21st in the Amos Walker series so I have a lot of catching up to do! Anyway, this was an enjoyable read although for me it started out rather slow with Amos on the track of some stolen HDTV converter boxes. These are boxes that will convert the now-required digital TV signals into analog for use with older non-HD TVs. Well, that technology is already pretty dated with most of us using large-screen digital TVs now days (this book was written in 2011) and most non-digital TVs are now in land fills or thrift shops! So a detective looking for converter boxes? Would it be worth the effort? Well it turned out that the boxes were a front for smuggling high-grade heroin which ended up resulting in a couple of murders and getting the local Detroit police and the Feds involved. Amos was on a 3-day retainer to look into this so even though the person who hired him was killed, he stays involved and ultimately solves the case which also involved some connections with Chinese gangs and a former Korean sex slave turned entrepreneur out for world domination?? As Walker points out in the book -- shades of Sax Rohmer! Overall, I would mildly recommend this one and will probably be reading more in the series.

I am re-adding this to the small bookbox of booboo123. I read the jacket and it didn't grab me. I misplaced one of the books, yikes, so I am adding another in addition to the one I am taking.

My daughter and I took vacation time during our birthday week and went around to used book stores where she lives a couple hours away from me to raid their stashes!!! ;)

I had taking a bunch of books that I had around that we're ready to travel and use them as trade-in credits to find some new Treasures and this is one of the ones that made the cut to such a noble end! ;)

It is now in the stocks of a beautifully diverse used book store sitting there pretty to attract a new reader and I'm sure it won't be long before it finds one! :D

(The Family Bookshop Deland, FL & its black cat mascot who was a complete sweetie)

So off it goes to make new friends! ;)
