A Detroit mob war draws Peter Macklin back into his old life as a Mafia assassin in award-winning author Loren D. Estleman's riveting hard-boiled thriller   The Reverend Thomas Aquinas Sunsmith is halfway through his sermon when killers open fire. He is preaching against the evils of gambling, which a cartel of mobsters is trying to legalize in Detroit. The hail of gunfire misses the reverend, but a choir member is cut down--the first victim in the battle for the soul of the Motor City.   The Detroit mob has erupted into civil war, and professional killer Peter Macklin is caught in the middle. A former mob employee, he has since tried to stay away from the savagery of organized crime, but now they're offering him a job too tempting to refuse. The mob will kill whomever it takes to bring gambling to Detroit, and Macklin is about to discover their secret weapon: a seventeen-year-old prodigy assassin, who happens to be Macklin's own son.   This suspenseful thriller from the three-time Shamus Award-winning author of the Amos Walker Mysteries rumbles with hard-boiled action and razor-sharp dialogue.   Any Man's Death is the 3rd book in the Peter Macklin Thrillers, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.  … (mehr)

Another superb Peter Macklin novel. This has it all: tight writing, sardonic humor (the scene where a hitman hired to kill the mob leader is shot by a cop hanging out in a hotel lobby, who is shot by another undercover cop watching for someone else, who is shot by - you guessed it - an off duty FBI agent working as a security man for the hotel, and the desk clerk who shoots himself in the foot with his .25 peashooter), and a nicely convoluted plot involving an evangelist running a Ponzi scheme. In the meantime, the police, Macklin, and others are doing their best to keep the Reverend Thomas Aquinas Sunsmith alive. Lots of other people want the contrary. Some terrific scenes and wonderful language. Some will not like the ending. Tough.

Besides, how can you not like a book that makes a reference to Aimee Semple Mc Pherson. (pg 174)
