Nameless is kidnapped and locked in cabin. Escapes and hunts down man who turns out to have gotten AIDS in prison

This was my first book that I read by this author, and it's one of his best works. Many twists and turns and one thing that kept nagging me was: how is the Nameless Detectine going to get out of this predicament, and wouldn't you know the ending was very satisfying. A great summer read. (
