(0 reviews)
12.99 USD
A missing partner. A case echoing a chilling past. Can the "Nameless" detective find her before time runs out?

In Nightcrawlers, Bill Pronzini's "Nameless" detective, one of the most consistently praised private investigators in American crime fiction, faces a race against the clock when his partner Vanessa disappears while investigating a suspicious case.

Vanessa takes on a case involving a deadbeat father, but things quickly escalate when she witnesses a man carrying a young girl into a house across the street. Determined to investigate, Vanessa goes in alone, but fails to return. As days pass, Nameless is haunted by the eerie similarities to his own past abduction, where he was shackled and left to die in a cabin in the woods. The chilling words "TAKING US TO A HOUSE IN THE WOODS" scrawled on a closet wall confirm his worst fears.

Meanwhile, Jake, another partner in the San Francisco-based agency, delves into a personal and dangerous case involving his estranged son's lover, a victim of violent gay-bashers. As both cases intertwine, Nameless and Jake must race against time to save Vanessa and confront their own haunting pasts.

Pronzini's award-winning skills are on full display in this gripping addition to the long-running "Nameless" detective series, delivering a suspenseful and emotionally charged mystery set against the gritty backdrop of San Francisco. Nightcrawlers is a pulse-pounding thriller that will keep readers guessing until the very end.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.



Praise for this book

“One of the best in mystery suspense field is Bill Pronzini.... He has been holding up the California hard-boiled PI tradition for 30 years.” —Washington Post Book World

“His novels are cerebral, not bloody. There is violence, but of a muted sort, and none of it is gratuitous.... The 'Nameless Detective' novels are a thinking reader's detective series.” —The Chicago Sun-Times

“There is no living writer whose work more faithfully embodies the spirit of classic private-eye fiction than Bill Pronzini's. It is class, classy noir storytelling.” —Cleveland Plain-Dealer

“[He] is the classic private eye hero pared down to the bone: He has not identity except for his detective work, into which he pours all his skill and soul. He is a remarkable creation.” —Chicago Sun-Times

“No one is better at finding links between tricky homicides than Nameless, and no one is more poetic in relating the details of a case; [Pronzini's] crisp language renders a blood-spattered room almost beautiful.” —Booklist
