Leonid McGill
Created by Walter Mosley

LEONID McGILL is Walter Mosley's newest creation, a contemporary African-American private eye and family man (with three grown -- and at times troublesome -- children), partial to Lucky Strikes and beer, trying to make a go of it on the decidedly mean streets of Manhattan.

Defiantly old school, the troubled ex-boxer and family man McGill first appeared in the 2005 short story “Karma” and his first novel-length outing, The Long Fall, finally saw daylight in 2009.

He joins the ranks of Mosley's other acclaimed series characters, such as Easy Rawlins, Socrates Fortlow and the tag-team of Paris Minton and Fearless Jones.

Walter Mosley is one of the most versatile and admired crime writers in America today. A New York Times-bestselling author, his work has been translated into more than twenty-one languages, and he's won numerous awatrds in the mystery field, as well as the O. Henry Award, a Grammy, and PEN America's Lifetime Achievement Award.
