Shaken after a hair's-breadth escape from death, Nameless has made changes in his professional life, 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. Clues are few, but Pronzini, working at the top of his form, takes
his seasoned private-eye hero to a new phase of a still-evolving thirty-year career.

Editorial Reviews
“More than two decades after this series’s initial installment, The Snatch,
Nameless’s assignments have become less conventional, and he’s been
mellowed by age, marriage, and too much death. Yet, even at age 61, he’s
more vital than many newer, less deservedly cynical competitors.” —Amazon.com, editorial review
“Three-time Shamus Award–winner Pronzini can still capture the sleazy
underside of San Francisco’s glitz as quickly and as well as anyone, so,
Nameless lives.” —Publishers Weekly
“A fascinating entry in a series that continues to redefine noir fiction even as it honors its roots.” —Booklist
