MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Robert Parker would have been proud to call their own, <em>Unknown Man #89</em> is a gem--nothing less than we'd expect from the man who created the incomparable U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of the hit TV series <em>Justified</em>.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Detroit process server Jack Ryan has a reputation for being the best in the business at finding people who don't want to be found.
