Walter Mosley 
All I Did Was Shoot My Man 
Leonid McGill 4

An electric new novel starring PI Leonid Mc Gill from the inimitable Walter Mosley, creator of the Easy Rawlins series.Seven years ago Zella Grisham was arrested for illegal possession of a firearm, assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder and grand theft. After two years of fruitless negotiations Zella was sentenced to 25 years in prison, mainly because she refused to give up her accomplices in a $6.8 million heist from Rutgers Assurance Corp. But Zella had played no part in that heist. PI Leonid Mc Gill had planted the evidence. All Zella had done was shoot her man, her cheating husband Harry Tangelo, when she’d caught him in bed with her best friend. That was a long time ago, and Mc Gill has regrets. So he hires a hotshot attorney to set her free. Zella’s big regret is that she tried to kill Tangelo. Mc Gill agrees to track him down, but the trail leads back to Rutgers Assurance, and the man who paid Mc Gill to plant the evidence is found dead. As Zella is hounded and an attempt is made on Mc Gill’s life, the detective realises the case is more complicated than he had ever imagined – but can he live long enough to sort it out?
