Description

Within the mafia-blocked Detroit of 1932, personal investigator Nathan Heller might be prepared to risk his life to generate a Melancholy buck, but he never sacrifices his chopping humor. That’s why secret enthusiasts and experts alike rank the historic thriller Accurate Investigator at the very top of the listings —and why the guide embroiled a Shamus Award for best story in the Private-Eye Writers of America. Today, writer Max Allan Collins (Road to Perdition) reissues the classic that presents the inscrutable, wise-cracking Nathan Heller in most his beauty and guts. Mayor Cermak seeks to clean up Chicago’s rancid status for your World’s Reasonable, and that challenging job boils down to the newest plainclothes cop around, Nathan Heller of the pickpocket depth.
