Expecting to hold onto her was like trying to keep water in the palm of your hand.
In the guise of a tough, noir detective novel, TORMENT, the sixth in Brett Wallach's Phil Allman, P.I. series, is actually a poetic, romantic elegy on obsessive love. The street-smart humor and colorful cast of characters that have been staples of the series remain, but the sad cloud of unrequited love hangs over everything.

Philadelphia Detective Allman's ex-wife, the young and beautiful Marci Downes, has been murdered, and Phil is arrested for the crime, and is under suspicion for killing several others who got close to her. Phil's depression over losing Marci, and its resulting memory lapses, have Phil doubting his own innocence. The mystery will keep you guessing until the very end.
