The Mortimer Angel series follows a reluctant private investigator in Reno who keeps finding himself at the center of murder cases. Mortimer Angel left the IRS for what he hoped would be a quieter life, but his new career as a PI has turned out to be anything but. The Gumshoe books are known for their fast pace, sharp banter, and a protagonist who narrates his own misadventures with considerable self-awareness.
Starting with Gumshoe in 2014, the series has grown to nine books. Each novel is self-contained enough for new readers, but returning fans will appreciate how Angel’s life and relationships develop across the series. The Reno setting gives the books a distinctive flavor, far from the usual New York or LA detective story backdrops.
