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
u201cPronzini has made the dogged, blinkered existence of a detective his nexclusive domain in this relentlessly grim yet thoroughly absorbing nseries.u201d
u201cBill nPronzini's Nameless Detective seems inspired by Hammett's Continental nOp, a fellow San Franciscan, though far less cynical and many pounds nlighter.u201d
u201cNameless is a wonderfully realized, evolving nprotagonist. His adventures donu2019t get any better than this--at least nuntil the next one.u201d
u201cExquisitely renderedu2014from the disillusioned goombah to the despairing nNameless, at a loss as to how to keep his partner Eberhardt from callingn it quits (he can't).u201d
