So what if Nameless can’t get his girlfriend, Kerry, to marry him? So what if he can’t talk his partner, Eberhardt, out of his bitter funk? Skies are sunny, and the Nameless Detective wants them to
stay that way. So he decides to do an old man a favor and find his missing granddaughter, Gianna.

Editorial Reviews
“Pronzini has made the dogged, blinkered existence of a detective his
exclusive domain in this relentlessly grim yet thoroughly absorbing
series.” —Publishers Weekly
“Bill
Pronzini's Nameless Detective seems inspired by Hammett's Continental
Op, a fellow San Franciscan, though far less cynical and many pounds
lighter.” —AudioFile
“Nameless is a wonderfully realized, evolving
protagonist. His adventures don’t get any better than this--at least
until the next one.” —Booklist
“Exquisitely rendered—from the disillusioned goombah to the despairing
Nameless, at a loss as to how to keep his partner Eberhardt from calling
it quits (he can't).” —Kirkus Reviews
