About

A moving and uproarious portrait of a modern American loser from the award-winning author of the Albert Samson Mysteries. 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, Underdog is a comedy about life, death, and cashing in.

Reviews

"As deftly plotted as the Samson series. But the real find here is the homeless hero, with his little-man dignity and his endless store of anecdotes."
Kirkus Reviews
"Will keep readers in stitches."
