All I Did Was Shoot My Man

All I Did Was Shoot My Man
(A Leonid McGill Mystery)
Available January 24, 2012


In the latest and most surprising novel in the bestselling Leonid McGill series, Leonid finds himself caught between his sins of the past and an all-too-vivid present.

Seven years ago, Zella Grisham came home to find her man, Harry Tangelo, in bed with her friend. The weekend before, $6.8 million had been stolen from Rutgers Assurance Corp., whose offices are across the street from where Zella worked. Zella didn't remember shooting Harry, but she didn't deny it either. The district attorney was inclined to call it temporary insanity-until the police found $80,000 from the Rutgers heist hidden in her storage space.


For reasons of his own, Leonid McGill is convinced of Zella's innocence. But as he begins his investigation, his life begins to unravel. His wife is drinking more than she should. His oldest son has dropped out of college and moved in with an exprostitute. His youngest son is working for him and trying to stay within the law. And his father, whom he thought was long dead, has turned up under an alias.


A gripping story of murder, greed, and retribution, All I Did Was Shoot My Man is also the poignant tale of one man's attempt to stay connected to his family.

Hi Lawrence,
I haven't started the Leonid McGill series either. I am looking forward to reading them too. So many books to read, you know! lol!

Lawrence Hey Karena,
You are so right about so many good books to read. My sister and I always say that same saying. Can I add you to my friends list since we both like Walter Mosley's writing? May be when you get ready to start that series we can start it together, if it's alright with you.

Of course Lawrence. I'll let you know when I start the Leonard McGill series. Right now I'm struggling through Bush's auto-biography. It's an easy read but some parts tend to drag on.

Lawrence Hey, some books are like that (Auto-Bush) where they tend to drag and you just want the book to be over with so you can move to the next one. I sent you a friends request and thank you for being my new friend.

Karena No problem Lawrence. Thank you for being my friend too.
