Nebraska PI: All Six Novels

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.

MOVING TARGETS
The second adventure for Nebraska P.I. proves that “William J. Reynolds’ Shamus Award nominated first effort was no fluke. Gripping.” The Times-Herald
Nebraska is hired to find the missing daughter of a local banker… and then the banker turns up dead.

MONEY TROUBLE
“Take away the palm trees. Move Raymond Chandler to Nebraska. Stir in humor. And you have the recipe for William J. Reynolds’ modern murder mystery.” Los Angeles Times
The PI is hired by his old high school girlfriend, widowed when her bank robber husband is killed. Now she wants to find his missing loot or prove him innocent.

THINGS INVISIBLE
“Nebraska is an amiable soul with a pungent sense of humor…which makes for entertaining reading.” Associated Press
Nebraska is hired to find a missing woman by her mother, who claims her daughter is a sweet recluse who would never run away. But Nebraska knows his client isn’t telling him everything…

THE NAKED EYE
“An easy to read, sometimes hard to put down tale that takes fans through the seamy side of life in Omaha. Formula private eye fiction with a few midwestern twists.” Sioux Falls Argus-Leader
After finishing a case in Minneapolis, Nebraska gets into a fist-fight with a rich kid who has more money than brains. But what seems like a passing, unpleasant experience turns into a nightmare that follows Nebraska back to Omaha

DRIVE-BY
“Nebraska is no bleeding heart do-gooder, but an honest man trying to do his job. Reynolds is as much fun to read as anybody around , either inside or outside the genre.” San Francisco Examiner
The nephew of one of Nebraska’s old friends is gunned down on an Omaha street in random shooting…or was it?

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.
