Description

USA Today best-selling author

Mortimer Angel, ex-IRS agent, PI-in-training has a reputation—he specializes in body parts

IRS agent-turned-PI Mortimer Angel is relaxing in a hole-in-the-wall bar in a Reno casino when an attractive young girl hires him to find out who left her a cryptic message demanding a million dollars.

At the girl’s house, Mort finds the body of missing rapper Jonnie Xenon—Jo-X to his legions of fans—hanging from the rafters with two bullet holes in him. Mort is shocked when he learns the identity of the girl’s father—and even more shocked when he is hired to investigate the murder.

Mort, being Mort, accumulates a few felonies as he follows the clues to Las Vegas. And along the way, he picks up an alluring young assistant who changes his life—in every conceivable way.

The perfect mix of John Sanford and Carl Hiaasen

While all of the novels in the Mortimer Angel Gumshoe Series stand on their own and can be read in any order, the publication sequence is:

Gumshoe
Gumshoe for Two
Gumshoe on the Loose
Gumshoe Rock
Gumshoe in the Dark (coming June 2021)

Advance Praise

“The Mort Angel books are instant PI classics–smart, slick, charming, and highly recommended.”
—Lee Child, New York Times best-selling author of Night School

Praise for the Mort Angel series:

“Gumshoe for Two is smart, sexy, and un-put-downable. Another in a long line of winners from Rob Leininger. Mortimer Angel is my new favorite private eye.”
—John Lescroart, best-selling author of The 13th Juror and The Fall

"The Great Gumshoe Is Back! ...a bawdily entertaining series, making Mortimer Angel my favorite go-to gumshoe."
—Bookreporter

“There’s no violence and very little gore for most of the novel, but after a long and complicated buildup, the climax arrives with screaming intensity.”

—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

“…The tone of Angel and DiFrazzia’s repartee recalls Dashiell Hammett’s Nick and Nora Charles of the ‘Thin Man’ series.”

—Library Journal

“The Mort Angel books are instant PI classics–smart, slick, charming, and highly recommended.”
—Lee Child, New York Times best-selling author of Night School
