'Downriver' in the Amos Walker series by Loren D. Estleman follows Detroit private eye Amos Walker as he gets entangled in a case involving a released convict seeking to find stolen money from a decades-old heist. The story is set against the backdrop of Detroit's gritty and decaying atmosphere, with themes of high finance in the automotive industry, racial tensions, and reflections on the city's turbulent past during the late 60s riots. The writing style is described as professional and solid, with a focus on character development, social commentary, and a sense of realism that avoids stereotyping.
