Sixth novel in the "Gumshoe" series. Kidnapped by a gorgeous girl in a casino bar in Reno, Mortimer Angel disappears for several days. When he finally makes contact with his friends and family, he's on a new case, one that takes him on more than one unexpected journey, then becomes a new case with more unexpected journeys. This time, Mort travels more roads than he has ever traveled before, and ends up in a place he could never have predicted. "Leininger's GUMSHOE series is a magnificent PI mystery smorgabord seasoned with elements of Carl Hiaasen, Tim Dorsey, and Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum." —L. Dean Murphy, Bookreporter “Sharp dialogue, outrageous events, and a delightful mix of characters help make [Gumshoe in the Dark) a winner. Move over Stephanie Plum, Leininger’s gumshoe has joined the ranks of the diabolically entertaining.” — Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) “Once this novel is picked up, the reader will be reluctant to put it down . . . bring on the next adventure, Mr. Leininger. We’ll be waiting!” — New York Journal of Books “So delightful are [Mort and Lucy's] scenes together that we’re sorry the two have to get to work. A high-speed, easy-reading narrative.” — Booklist
