review by Tom Elliott in July 2006 Mensa Bulletin
"To borrow from the title of an old radio drama series, I love a mystery, and this one is short and sweet. Move over Raymond Chandler, [G.E.] Nordell's Rick Walker, P.I. has taken center stage."

When a long-buried body is discovered at National Pictures Studios, private investigator Rick Walker is called in to identify it. His investigation leads to a thirty-year-old murder case, a dying film director and his wild daughters, a legendary film star of the Silent Era, local gangsters, and a very discreet love affair.

The fictional character of Rick Walker, private investigator, exists in the milieu of Fifties L.A. noir, as epitomized by Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe detective character. The rules are the same – 'a man who down these mean streets must go', ..the fedora, ..the irony – with the addition of Rick's love for the developing West Coast jazz scene, expressed as a serviceable and in-demand semi-pro musician, playing both the tenor and alto saxophone.
