Synopsis

David Virden's case is simple enough: Namless must find his ex-wife and deliver some papers to her. But she refuses the papers, sends a message to Virden to never contact her again, and slams the door. His colleague, Tamara, tells Nameless that Virden threatens to sue, stops payment on his checks, and claims that the woman they located isn't his wife. Then he disappears and his fianc├®e hires Nameless to find out why. Clearly, someone is trying to make Nameless the monkey in the middle. Then things take a decidedly more deadly turn…

Goodreads review by Patrick on January 31, 2012

I'm a fan of this series, and this one took a decidedly darker turn. It took me a while to get used to the shifting points of view — the "Nameless" narrator (whose name is Bill) in first person, and the third-person narrative of the other characters. There was one glaringly dumb thing in this book, h......more

Goodreads review by Ed on August 01, 2011

I remain an avid fan of Bill Pronzini's Nameless Detective series, and Camouflage, for my money, is one of the better of the newer titles. Jake Runyon, Nameless's partner, deals with one case while Nameless works a different one. Both mysteries are genuine puzzle-type whodunits, but the storyline re......more

Goodreads review by Ed on August 19, 2018

#35 in the Nameless Detective series. In this 2011 series entry by author Pronzini, the two story arcs do not intersect and the novel is almost two novellas with alternating chapters. Nameless handles a case involving identity theft and mentions that his friend Sharon McCone (the PI creation of Pron......more

Goodreads review by Alecia on March 07, 2013

I would give this a 3.5/5. I always enjoy Bill Pronzini, and Camouflage is a very nicely written mystery. The same characters from the Nameless Detective series populate this book, and two stories are told concurrently. As usual, Nameless narrates his story in the first person, and Jake Runyon's par......more
