Rating: Summary: Another solid entry in the Amos Walker series Review: "Every Brilliant Eye" is the sixth novel in the Amos Walker private detective series. Walker is a lonely, quick witted and highly principled P.I. who knows his native Detroit inside and out. In this novel, Walker is trying to locate an old friend he served with in Vietnam and in the process reveals more about his past than he ever had previously. He also becomes involved with the bewitching book editor Louise Starr, a holdover character from the previous Walker novel, "Sugartown." The only negative is that the story's police corruption angle is a bit shopworn. The Vietnam angle adds considerable weight and the ending is appropriately violent.Look for the i-books vintage paperback edition of this novel to be released sometime in Summer 2001. The i-books editions of the Walker series are first rate paperbacks with extra goodies added, including an afterword by the author.

Rating: Summary: Excellent!!! Review: I'm a big Amos Walker fan, and Every Brilliant Eye was excellent! When Amos, a smart-talking Detroit private investigator is hired to investigate the disappearance of his friend- a Vietnam vet- Amos finds himself at odds with the police and a series of odd-ball thugs, in cluding a union boss and a serial killer. In true Amos Walker fashion, he smart-talks, and one-liners his way through the plot, never relenting. Estleman has a great flare for writing and description. Overall, an excellent book, a must-have installment for fans of Amos Walker.
