Forge Books, 2007

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.
