Going Nowhere Fast

Joe & Dottie Loudermilk seriesbook 1 of 1Next:Bad News Travels Fast(1995) →

From the author of the award-winning Aaron Gunner detective series comes an all-new mystery featuring an unlikely pair of gumshoes. Joe and Dottie Loudermilk seem to have it all. Joe, a recently retired police detective, and his wife, Dottie, have chucked the house and the yard and have hit the road in their newly acquired Airstream trailer, choosing to see America mile by incredible mile. As parents of five grown children, each one a pain in the derriere, they're only too happy to leave them and their problems in the dust. But while visiting the Grand Canyon, Joe and Dottie return to their silver home on wheels to discover their youngest son, Bad Dog, hiding in the closet with a gun in his hand - and a dead man on the toilet. And while Joe and Dottie are in the clear, they find themselves crisscrossing the Arizona desert in search of the killer, with the FBI, the National Park Service, the L.A. Raiders, and the mob on their heels. Wry, engaging, and deliciously loopy, Going Nowhere Fast marks the debut of a marvelously entertaining sleuthing duo from the pen of one of today's most talented writers of crime fiction.
