The Black Glove

NOMINATED FOR THE EDGAR AWARD

Terry Traven is an L. A. private eye who modeled himself after Philip Marlowe and thrived in the 1960s, becoming a minor celebrity for his hardboiled style and his skill at tracking down runaways. But now itâ€™s the 1980s, his minor fame has completely faded, and heâ€™s barely making a living. So he jumps at the opportunity to find a wealthy, born-again industrialistâ€™s missing son who has been dabbling in drugs and punk rock. Itâ€™s not just a chance to save the kidâ€¦ but himself. Travenâ€™s search leads him into a bizarre, cocaine-drizzled world populated by kidnappers, drug dealers, talent agents, greedy entrepreneurs, religious zealots and desperate killers.

â€œMiller pretty much equals the masters â€” Hammett and Chandler â€” of the hardboiled detective story,â€ Houston Post

â€œTHE BLACK GLOVE is every bit as remarkable as the best film noir of the 1940s,â€ Detroit News
