The Lou Fleener Mystery series is Duane Lindsay’s longest, with nine books published from 2016 to 2024. Each novel brings a new case for Fleener to solve, from missing persons to murder and financial crime. The series builds its protagonist across the books while keeping each mystery self-contained.
Missing Amanda (2016) introduces Fleener and his investigative style, while Seriously…? (2017) and Devil in Her Heart (2018) develop his character further. The Classy Detective Agency (2021) takes Fleener in a slightly different direction, and Filthy Rich and Money to Burn explore cases involving wealth and greed. Black and White: And Dead All Over (2024) is the most recent entry.
Lindsay writes crime fiction that keeps the focus on the detective work rather than graphic violence. The cases vary enough to keep each book fresh, and Fleener’s personality comes through in the way he handles both the people and the evidence around him.
