The Russ Tobin series spans 19 books from The Sewing Machine Man (1969) to Tobin Goes Cuckoo (2005), following a lovable rogue through comic misadventures worldwide. What starts with a door-to-door salesman in the first book escalates into globe-trotting capers, with Tobin visiting Las Vegas, Tahiti, Australia, Hollywood, and beyond.

The series was most prolific in the 1970s, when Morgan released multiple Tobin books per year. Titles like Come Again Courier, Tobin For Hire, and Tobin Among The Stars showcase the freewheeling, anything-goes spirit of the series. A final entry, Tobin Goes Cuckoo, arrived in 2005 after a long gap, bringing Tobin back for one more adventure.
