What to expect

So what if Nameless can’t get his girlfriend, Kerry, to marry him? So what if he can’t talk his partner, Eberhardt, out of his bitter funk? Skies are sunny, and the Nameless Detective wants them to stay that way. So he decides to do an old man a favor and find his missing granddaughter, Gianna.

But no one said it would be easy. It seems Gianna’s roommate is turning tricks, and Nameless’ search quickly leads him to a pimp, a murder, and into a dark pit of human perversion—the kind of place where people die. What happen to Gianna Fornessi? Ask Nameless: he’s the one gripping his .38 and writing epitaphs in his head …

Critics Review

  • “Pronzini has made the dogged, blinkered existence of a detective his
    exclusive domain in this relentlessly grim yet thoroughly absorbing
    series.”

    Publishers Weekly

  • “Bill
    Pronzini’s Nameless Detective seems inspired by Hammett’s Continental
    Op, a fellow San Franciscan, though far less cynical and many pounds
    lighter.”

    AudioFile

  • “Nameless is a wonderfully realized, evolving
    protagonist. His adventures don’t get any better than this–at least
    until the next one.”

    Booklist

  • “Exquisitely rendered—from the disillusioned goombah to the despairing
    Nameless, at a loss as to how to keep his partner Eberhardt from calling
    it quits (he can’t).”
