Synopsis

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. 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.

Review

"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 books of Rob Leininger:

The tone of Angel and DiFrazzia's repartee recalls Dashiell Hammett's Nick and Nora Charles of the “Thin Man” series... Should Angel and DiFrazzia morph into a series, mystery readers will be well served." ―Library Journal

"Leininger has created an intricate and intriguing thriller [Sunspot] that mixes terror and threat to the planet on a grand scale. A first-rate tale told by a first-class writer." ―Clive Cussler, New York Times best-selling author

"This complex, seductive thriller from Leininger [Gumshoe], keeps the action rolling fast enough to keep any willing reader turning the pages...the climax arrives with screaming intensity." ―Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

"I found Sunspot engrossing, intellectually stimulating, and downright scary." ―Jonathan Kellerman, New York Times best-selling and Edgar and Anthony Award-winning author

"[Gumshoe]...is a story of madness, incest, and revenge that ends in a stunning set piece that roars for nearly 40 pages. A fine, thrilling read." ―Booklist

"With inspiration from H. G. Wells and Tom Clancy, Rob Leininger has written a science fiction techno-thriller that is in a genre of its own, a modern classic about our lifeboat earth adrift in the cosmos. Sunspot is a damn good book." ―Stephen Coonts, New York Times best-selling author
