Did they fly somewhere together? They aren t on any flight manifest. Did the two of them take off with a big pile of the city s money? If so, the city accountants can t find it. Were they murdered?

Advance Praise

"Gumshoe is by a large margin the best and most entertaining mystery I've read in at least the past couple of years. Rob Leininger captures the voice and heart of the classic PI mystery and manages to make it completely original at the same time. No small feat. And Mortimer Angel is my new favorite Private Eye."

— John Lescroart, author of The Keeper and The 13th Juror
