Underdog

By Michael Z. Lewin
Underdog by Michael Z. Lewin digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Small-time hustler and ex-jailbird Jan Moro is trying hard to make an honest living for a change. Never at a loss for a story or a moneymaking idea, he discovers that finding a backer, or even a place to sleep, in the alleys and bars of Indianapolis can lead a guy into worlds of trouble.   Reminiscent of the works of Elmore Leonard, with its loquacious, larger-than-life protagonist and singular cast, is a comedy about life, death, and cashing in.

About Michael Z. Lewin

Michael Z. Lewin is the award-winning author of many mystery novels, short stories, and radio plays. He is best known for two series set in and around his hometown of Indianapolis. Albert Samson is a wry, low-key private eye who neither beats people up nor owns a gun. Leroy Powder is an irascible Indy police lieutenant who repeatedly "helps" his colleagues to become better cops. Both character also appear in Lewin's short stories. The main characters from the two series and other Indianapolis titles often appear in lesser roles in other books.   Since 1971, Lewin has lived in England, currently in Bath, where his city center flat overlooks the nearby hills. It also overlooks the front doors of the Lunghi family detective agency, a newer series of novels and stories set in the historic city.
