About this listen
"If I see my name in tomorrow's paper yours will be in the next edition. Bordered in black."
Marla Bernstein is a pretty, dark-haired teenager who also happens to be the ward of Ben Morningstar - a semi-retired mobster who prefers to keep family business out of the newspapers. When Marla suddenly disappears, the gang boss is forced to call in private eve Amos Walker, who quickly learns his new employer doesn't take "no" for an answer when he offers a job opportunity.
Unfortunately, the only clue to Marla's whereabouts is a pornographic photograph that clearly proves that she's become part of a world that disgusts even her criminal guardian....
The photo, in turn, leads Walker into the seedy world of Detroit's porn shops and blue movies, where Marla's trail becomes even murkier and increasingly more dangerous to follow. As first cases go, Walker could have certainly asked for one less challenging.

Good read but lots of characters to keep track of!
I enjoyed this book which was well narrated and had many similarities with Raymond Chandler novels. Fairly unusual being set in Detroit which makes a change from the more usual venues of New York, Los Angeles and occasionally Chicago.
I have marked it down a point as I got a bit confused with so many different characters - some good, some bad, some bad posing as good and some indifferent!

Could have been shorter
I found this story well narrated but just too padded in the descriptions. Maybe just a difference between UK and US tastes.

Today, I listened to an 80s view of then.
I don't know if I should admit to enjoying such a Novel nowadays but I did 😎
