“A smoothly written private‐eye story” and Edgar Award Finalist: Indianapolis PI Albert Samson stirs up a wealthy family’s secrets (The New York Times). It’s a slow afternoon for Indianapolis private detective Albert Samson. He’s just awoken from an office doze when a new client walks in. Sixteen-year-old Eloise Crystal recently discovered that her blood type doesn’t match either of her parents’, and she wants Samson to find her biological father. Skeptical, but one hundred dollars richer, Samson begins some preliminary digging into the past of one of the most respected family names in Indiana. What he unearths is the kind of dirt that makes people do desperate things—and it thrusts him into a shifting world of lies, old money, and murderous secrets. A beloved series by a Shamus Award–winning author, Ask the Right Question introduces the smart-mouthed midwestern detective “who’s always good, wry company” (Kirkus Reviews). Ask the Right Question is the 1st book in the Albert Samson Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

The Way We Die Now

By: Michael Z. Lewin

Indianapolis PI Albert Samson must prove the innocence of an unstable veteran accused of murder in this “excellent” mystery (The New Republic). Martha Jerome chose struggling private eye Albert Samson because he’s the cheapest detective in Indianapolis. She wants Samson to find evidence that will exonerate her son-in-law, Ralph Tomanek, of the manslaughter charges against him. A troubled Vietnam veteran who’s been in and out of mental hospitals, Tomanek fired his shotgun and killed a man who may or may not have been reaching for his own weapon. Refusing to believe Tomanek is just a crazy vet with a bad case of PTSD, Samson goes to bat for him—and uncovers a nasty web of blackmail that could land the nosey detective on the wrong end of a gun. The smart-mouthed midwestern detective “who’s always good, wry company” returns in this witty crime novel by a Shamus Award–winning author (Kirkus Reviews). The Way We Die Now is the 2nd book in the Albert Samson Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Night Cover

By: Michael Z. Lewin

When the sun goes down, all bets are off in this gritty, “exhilaratingly alive” crime novel from the author of the celebrated Albert Samson mysteries (The New Yorker). Two decades on the Night Cover for the Indianapolis PD can wear a cop down. For Lt. Leroy Powder, the difference between right and wrong has gotten as murky as the coffee that gets him through the night. Burglaries, nickel-and-dime drug deals gone haywire, punks being punks, even a bomb scare—it all comes with the territory. But at the end of a particularly grueling shift, Lieutenant Powder gets a call from an informant who claims he’s found a dead body. Turns out Johnny Uncle was telling the truth. Beyond that the facts get shaky. Besides the victim’s obvious lack of breathing, the only other certainty is that the hands were sledgehammered postmortem to prevent identification. Lieutenant Powder has seen his share of by-the-book murders. But something tells the grizzled veteran there’s a killer going way off script. And that the story has just begun—and that the night is far from over. Night Cover is the 1st book in the Lt. Leroy Powder Novels, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Late Payments

By: Michael Z. Lewin

“With complexity worthy of Ross Macdonald”, the award-winning author of Hard Line delivers a tightly crafted police procedural featuring Lt. Leroy Powder (Publishers Weekly). Nineteen years in Night Cover plus five years running the Missing Persons Bureau in the Indianapolis PD has certainly distinguished Lt. Leroy Powder’s already salty humor. It’s also granted him an unusual appreciation for the breadth of human behavior. When a twelve-year-old kid struts into the precinct claiming his father’s missing, Powder’s instincts tell him this won’t be a simple case. But neither is the fact that a sick killer is on the loose, targeting the city’s paraplegics. And now he’s got to play dad to his own son fresh out of an eighteen-month stint in prison. For Powder, it’s enough inspiration to crack an ill-timed joke or two, especially when the Feds suspect the lieutenant’s not playing it straight. Regardless, it’s time to get justice done. The question is who’s going to pay for it. Late Payments is the 3rd book in the Lt. Leroy Powder Novels, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Hard Line

By: Michael Z. Lewin

The Edgar Award–nominated author of the Albert Samson mysteries returns with “another first-rate, fast-moving police procedural” featuring Lt. Leroy Powder (Publishers Weekly). Nineteen years in Night Cover for the Indianapolis PD and suddenly Lt. Leroy Powder gets a new job description. The surly cop may have honed his instincts for solving crimes, but he can’t tell if heading the Missing Persons Bureau is a promotion, demotion, or something in between. And then he gets a new partner thrown at him. Sure, Sgt. Carollee Fleetwood is a decorated cop who took a bullet for a fellow officer, but all Lieutenant Powder sees is a woman rolling around in a wheelchair. And there’s no time to be sensitive and diplomatic when there’s a job to be done. As Powder and Fleetwood test each other, they never lose sight of the case at hand—no matter how strange the details. Case by case, from missing loves to missing lovers, the two seasoned detectives slowly gain each other’s grudging respect. And no matter how vicious the jokes get, neither will ever crack a smile. Hard Line is the 2nd book in the Lt. Leroy Powder Novels, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Whatever It Takes

By: Michael Z. Lewin

What must a man do when the world suddenly becomes unrecognizable because of a worldwide sickness? He does whatever it takes to keep his daughter, his grandson, and himself alive from one day to the next. But at the same time he can’t give up hope of finding a better life for them all. Set in an unnamed American city, this novel follows a small family from one surprising event to the next. There are good times and many hard ones when survival is the primary goal. The first chapter of this novel appeared as a story in the Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine January-February 2022 edition. Book Review 1: “In the several days during which Mr. Lewin allows us to share his long waking hours, Leroy Powder becomes exhilaratingly alive.” -- The New Yorker, about Night Cover Book Review 2: “Adele Buffington… conducts herself like a mensch. She shows courage… [and] uses her brains and initiative…” -- Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times, about And Baby Will Fall Book Review 3: “Confessions is a joy and I’m sure it will entertain everyone lucky enough to read it, bishops, priests and born-again Christians included. Rabbis too. There’s such good sense and wisdom at the heart of this wonderful romp through heaven and earth. The brilliance is that while we are treated to such fun with a God learning to be streetwise, the story is rooted in good theology. I hope He will return.” -- Peter Lovesey, Grand Master of Mystery Writers of America; Diamond Dagger winner of the Crime Writers Association, about Confessions of a Discontented Deity

Out of Season

By: Michael Z. Lewin

A fake birth certificate leads Indianapolis PI Albert Samson to a woman who abandoned her child in this crime novel by a writer with “brains and style” (Los Angeles Times). A short television spot about the life of the average private eye gives Albert Samson hope that his economic blues are about to disappear. Better yet, his newest case looks promising too. He’s just been paid a hefty retainer by Paula Belter, who has discovered that her birth certificate is a fake. There’s no record of her existence. The trail leads to an unsolved murder and a highly publicized trial that dates back decades. But as Samson connects the dots, he doesn’t end up with a pretty picture. As another murder sends the investigation spiraling out of control, the PI edges closer to the dangerous truth. The smart-mouthed midwestern detective who “is always good, wry company” returns in this witty crime novel from the critically acclaimed Albert Samson series (Kirkus Reviews). Out of Season is the 6th book in the Albert Samson Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Alien Quartet

Albert Samson Stories

By: Michael Z Lewin

These four Albert Samson short stories are linked by one unusual client. The first story, “Who I Am,” begins when LeBron James climbs Albert’s stairs. He wants Samson to investigate a burglary at his Indianapolis home. This is not an everyday event for this PI: having a new client. Who I Am won the Shamus Award for best PI Story of 2011. In “Good Intentions,” a genuinely well-meaning man has been beaten so badly he needs hospital treatment. But he insists that he doesn’t want police to become involved. “Extra Fries” opens when a man has been caught cheating by his wife. Unusually, it’s the cheater who is the detective’s client, not the wife. Extra Fries was nominated for the Shamus of 2013. “A Question of Fathers” sees Albert search for a man due to inherit millions of dollars. The investigation helps him find a new level of understanding with his daughter, his mother, and himself. But what about his father?

The Albert Samson Mysteries Volume One

Ask the Right Question, The Way We Die Now, and The Enemies Within

By: Michael Z. Lewin

A trio of thrilling cases for the Indianapolis private eye from the “fast, funny, and brilliant” three-time Edgar Award finalist (Wall Street Journal). Michael Lewin “has brains and style”—and so does his Indy gumshoe, Albert Samson, so relaxed he doesn’t even carry a gun. In these three mysteries collected in one volume, Samson uses his wits to solve some very seedy crimes (Los Angeles Times). Ask the Right Question: Private investigator Albert Samson gets a shake-up with his new client: sixteen-year-old Eloise Crystal is desperate to find her biological father. What the detective unearths is the kind of dirt that makes people do desperate things. Thrust into a moneyed clan of old secrets and killer deceptions, Samson discovers that the first lie may be Eloise’s. The Way We Die Now: When Vietnam veteran Ralph Tomanek is charged with manslaughter, Samson believes there’s more to the story. But why was a man with a history of PTSD hired as an armed guard in the first place? The answer is a dizzying case of blackmail that lands Samson on the wrong end of the gun. The Enemies Within: Samson’s new client is Bennett Willson, a struggling writer looking for justice. It’s a pretty glitzy case for the cheapest detective in Indianapolis: Strong-arm a big-time Broadway producer who allegedly stole Willson’s play. Unfortunately, Willson proves to be as pure as the Indianapolis slush. What he wants is revenge. For Samson, finding out why could mean the final curtain call. The recipient of a Mystery Masters Award, a Raymond Chandler Society Award, and a Maltese Falcon Society Award, Michael Lewin, “writes with style and sensibility and wit . . . He can frighten the reader, too” (Ross Macdonald).

The Enemies Within

By: Michael Z. Lewin

A playwright needs PI Albert Samson to find a thieving Broadway producer in this “fast, funny and brilliant series” from the Shamus Award–winning author (The Wall Street Journal). After a Florida vacation spent at the horse races—turning a measly profit of eighty-two cents before expenses—private detective Albert Samson is back in slushy, freezing Indy, where, thankfully, it’s a short walk from his living room to his office door. One night, he opens it to find a hesitant stranger in an overcoat. With some prodding from the PI, Bennett Willson admits he wants Samson to strong-arm the Broadway producer who stole his play. When it turns out that the cleverly crafted story is as bogus as the client himself, Samson blows the lid off a simmering brew of hatred and revenge—leaving his own life hanging in the balance. Written by a Shamus Award–winning author who “has brains and style,” this crime novel follows the beloved midwestern detective in his most bizarre case yet (Los Angeles Times). The Enemies Within is the 3rd book in the Albert Samson Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Called by a Panther

By: Michael Z. Lewin

Indianapolis PI Albert Samson picks up three cases that land him on the city’s most wanted list in this mystery from the Shamus Award–winning author. Albert Samson, Indy’s least successful PI, is working three cases at once: an ecoterrorist group threatens to bomb the city, an obnoxious poet wants help murdering his wife, and a dazzling socialite’s mysterious package needs a courier. The ecoterrorism group, the Scum Front, arrive at his door in animal masks after misplacing a bomb. Thankfully, they have only blown up fallow cornfields so far, but Samson must track down the missing bomb before it detonates in the city. Meanwhile, he discovers that the poet is not, in fact, married. And he wonders why a beautiful member of the Indianapolis elite would hire him as a delivery boy. As the three seemingly unrelated cases collide, time is running out for Samson to find the missing explosives, nail the culprit, and get out alive. Constantly attracting bizarre clients, the smart-mouthed midwestern detective “is always good, wry company” in the critically acclaimed Albert Samson Mystery (Kirkus Reviews). Called by a Panther is the 7th book in the Albert Samson Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Out of Time

By: Michael Z. Lewin

Albert Samson, once described as the private eye combining 'the best moral qualities of the Continental Op and Lew Archer', feels life is looking good when he acquires two clients in an afternoon. The first, an eccentric old man living in an expensive apartment and obsessed with his home computer, asks him to investigate a young man suspected of running with a wild crowd. The second is a wealthy banker. His wife has discovered that her birth certificate is a fake which puts her whole history in doubt. Now she wonders if she has any identity at all. Samson's investigations lead him, via dusty archives, a sentimental night club owner, the police and the press, to the 1930s and 40s and an old murder. It also leads him to suspect that a recent 'natural' death may be a cold-blooded killing.
