Gumshoe on the Loose

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
