Amos Walker is a fictional character in a series of books by sometime western author Loren D. Estleman. He is a private detective who lives on the Detroit-Hamtramck border and works in Detroit, Michigan. Like Estleman, who pecks out his books on a 1967 Olympia manual typewriter, Walker is wa-a-ay low-tech. At one point, the middle-aged P.I. turns on his cell phone and draws its antenna out with his teeth. (When was the last time you saw a cell phone with a retractable antenna?!)

  • Amos Walker is a fictional character in a series of books by sometime western author Loren D. Estleman. He is a private detective who lives on the Detroit-Hamtramck border and works in Detroit, Michigan. As a Vietnam vet who boxed in college and served as a military policeman, he is sharp and streetwise. But, like all good "eyes", he has an irreverent side. Amos was fired from the Detroit Police while still in Academy for punching someone out in the shower. In Motor City Blue, set around 1980, Amos is in his thirties and the character has aged in later novels. Amos is a traditionalist. As one reviewer noted: Like Estleman, who pecks out his books on a 1967 Olympia manual typewriter, Walker is wa-a-ay low-tech. At one point, the middle-aged P.I. turns on his cell phone and draws its antenna out with his teeth. (When was the last time you saw a cell phone with a retractable antenna?!) (en)
