The Moroni Traveler series consists of eight mystery novels published between 1988 and 1995, starting with Baptism for the Dead. Private investigator Moroni Traveler works in Salt Lake City, and his cases frequently brush up against the culture and politics of the LDS Church.
The setting gives the series a distinctive flavor among PI novels. Traveler’s unusual name and the Utah landscape set these books apart from typical detective fiction, making them a cult favorite among mystery readers looking for something different.
