{"product_id":"spook-bill-pronzini-9781628153323","title":"Spook","description":"With a new case, a new partner, and a new P.I., Nameless is back-and Bill Pronzini's much-praised Bleeders did not bring to a close the series that Booklist calls \"a stunning and unique achievement in crime fiction\" and \"one of the greatest-ever detective series.\" Instead, in Spook, a pivotal novel in the remarkably successful Nameless Detective series, Pronzini, working at the top of his form, takes his seasoned private-eye hero into a new phase of a still-evolving thirty-year career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShaken after a hair's-breadth escape from death, Nameless has made some changes in his professional life: He's taken on his smart, young assistant Tamara as a partner, and he's hired Jake Runyon, a reticent ex-cop with a hammerhead jaw and troubled past, to work with him in the field. But he's not put himself out to pasture. Again he enters San Francisco's shadowy underworld, this time in a search for the identity of a gentle, mentally disturbed homeless man who has been found dead in an alley doorway.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeyond the dead man's street name-Spook (for his habit of talking at length with two ghosts he called Dot and Luke)-clues are few. Eventually, though, they take the investigation to Aspen Creek, the small, isolated town high in the California Sierras where the nameless victim has left behind him a tragic history of murder and madness. More dangerously, and unpredictably, in Nameless's low-end office on O'Farrell Street, seventeen years of repressed rage are about to erupt again into violent revenge-from a hot-eyed wild man brandishing a Micro Uzi SMG.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Pronzini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1628153326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628153323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Speaking Volumes, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/23\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Bill Pronzini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896878653695,"sku":"9781628153323","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spook-bill-pronzini-9781628153323","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
