Rob Leininger is an American mystery and thriller writer whose Mortimer Angel series has become his signature work. The series follows a former IRS agent turned private investigator in Reno, Nevada, who has a talent for stumbling into bodies and trouble in roughly equal measure. Leininger’s own experience as a private investigator gives the books an authentic feel beneath their sharp humor.
Outside the Gumshoe series, Leininger has written a dozen standalone novels and thrillers, plus a chess strategy book on the Carlsbad pawn structure. His fiction ranges from dark thrillers like Killing Suki Flood to lighter fare, but the Mortimer Angel books are where his voice comes through most clearly.
