You're right about Glen Orbik's art! I love his covers! As for the author, Bill Pronzini, I have begun to look for the other 'Nameless Detective' titles to collect. I have read three of the 'Nameless' books and they are great!47. Kinsman
by Bill Pronzini
About the Book:
"Allison Shay was traveling home from the University of Oregon with her new boyfriend, Rob Compton, when their car broke down near the tiny rural town of Creekside, California. Soon after, Allison and Rob went missing without a trace.
Whatever happened, it felt like something bad to the Nameless Detective. Five days without a whisper of contact with the outside world. Long past the inconsiderate-kids stage; long past the silly and the harmless.
Kinsmen takes Bill Pronzini's classic private investigator to California's northeast backwoods, where an isolated community is determined to keep a deep, dark secret: why Allison Shay and Rob Compton really vanished.
The real question facing the Nameless Detective: are they still alive?"
My thoughts:
I love these vintage looking, noir-type covers. They are just badass and Glen Orbik is the man to call for this great art. He's so good at this. Insert goofy smily face here because I'm just a fan girl of this visual story.
This is one of 36 Nameless Detective books. Thirty-six! I think that was the number wiki gave me. Give or take a handful, that is a lot of books!
I like the detective in this series and he comes on the page and does his thing. Well written, simple but engaging and a fast little novella that kept me moving right along.
I don't think I have anymore of this author's work, but I'm curious so will check out more titles in the "Nameless" data bank.
That just struck me as funny! No, silly! It's a corpse! If it stood on its own it would be a zombie!!! Ok, I'll show myself out now!Another question for anyone who can give me some insight.
I have the Cemetery Dance book of Gideon's Corpse. It is a sequel to Gideon's Sword by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.
Do I have to read that first book, or can Gideon's Corpse stand on its own?

Anyone notice that the kid has one brown eye and one blue/green eye in the latest episode? Bill Skarsgard doesn't have heterochromia so that was a character choice...I found that interesting.
