Nebraska PI: All Six Novels by William Reynolds
All six novels in the acclaimed NEBRASKA series of private eye novels, “one of the most refreshing additions to the ranks of hardboiled detectives. An engrossing, well-crafted story with many bizarre twists. Top-notch entertainment.” Publishers Weekly
THE NEBRASKA QUOTIENT
The first book in the acclaimed Nebraska P.I. series, a Shamus Award finalist for Best Novel from the Private Eye Writers of America. A struggling novelist and ex-private eye gets into big trouble when he answers his door at 4 a.m. and his ex-partner crashes through his screen door with a gunshot wound and dies on his floor, clutching an envelope full of X-rated photos of a senator’s daughter. Things only get worse for Nebraska from there. Soon he’s pitted against the Chicago mob, the Omaha police, a porno ring, and a senator with presidential aspirations…and then the killing begins. The challenge for Nebraska becomes more than just solving the mysteries. It becomes survival.

Guilt Enough to Go Around: Three Nebraska P.I. Stories
For Nebraska, the Omaha-based private detective and hopeful mystery writer, things are seldom as straightforward as they first appear. These three stories, featuring characters from the internationally published series of novels that began with The Nebraska Quotient (nominated for a Shamus Award by the Private Eye Writer of America), illustrate the determination, resourcefulness, and, sometimes, deliberate rejection of common sense that drive Nebraska toward the ultimate truth—whether he likes it or not.
