Synopsis
USA Today best-selling author. A hooker who's not a hooker -- a hand without a body -- what's next for Mort? Ex-IRS agent turned gumshoe-in-training, Mortimer Angel, is approached by a beautiful hooker, Holiday, in a casino bar in Reno. Mort first met Holiday two months ago, but now learns that she's not really a hooker. She's a college engineering student, searching for her younger sister, Allie, who disappeared three months ago. Having seen Mort in the news, Holiday knows he's a PI who finds missing persons. While in the bar with Mort, Holiday gets an unexpected phone call from Allie who says she's in Gerlach, a small town in Nevada. The call is cut off. Holiday hires Mort on the spot, dragging him off to Gerlach. On the way out of town, Mort picks up a FedEx disturbing package. When Mort finds a connection between Allie and US Senator Harry "Liar" Reinhart, a presidential candidate who vanished without a trace three days ago, things quickly turn deadly -- very deadly. 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).

Newspapers & Magazines
" 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 , New York Times best-selling author "The Great Gumshoe Is Back! ...a bawdily entertaining series, making Mortimer Angel my favorite go-to gumshoe." Bookreporter "entertaining mix of homage and parody" Booklist Praise for the Mortimer Angel Gumshoe Series "The Mort Angel books are instant PI classics--smart, slick, charming, and highly recommended." -Lee Child, New York Times best-selling author "Rob Leininger captures the voice and heart of the classic PI mystery and manages to make it completely original at the same timeMortimer Angel is my new favorite Private Eye." John Lescroart, New York Times best-selling author "Outstanding! From its opening line to its satisfying denouement, Rob Leininger's Gumshoe in the Dark is a tightly plotted, deftly executed, wickedly funny, and wildly entertaining story. Find a comfortable chair and enjoy a ride through the backroads of Nevada." Sheldon Siegel, New York Times best-selling author " Gumshoe , the first in the series, was a Shamus nominee, and the author continues to develop Mort's character and his snappy repartee. Readers who loved Robert B. Parker's Spenser or Matt Goldman's Nils Shapiro will appreciate the humor and investigative work in this outstanding example of the PI novel." Library Journal (Starred Review) " Gumshoe Rock is a knock-your-socks-off mystery with a healthy dose of graveyard humor." Foreword Reviews "Fans of Travis McGee hungry for red-meat private-eye adventure will tune out the mystery and focus on the hero's effortlessly self-confident sex appeal, superhuman physical strength, and nice way with dialogue." Kirkus Reviews "Rob Leininger's attention to philosophical detail mirrors my own: Bad often begets good. Witty humor softens grisly crime scene descriptions, making Mort my go-to gumshoe. Gumshoe Rock rocks!" Bookreporter
