Gertrude, Gumshoe: Slam Is Murder

Gertrude Gumshoe is desperate for a case, but sleepy Mattawooptock isn't exactly a hotbed of criminal activity. When she connects two suspicious deaths to Portland's poetry slam scene, she's convinced she's onto something big - even if her reluctant chauffeur Calvin needs some persuading.

Armed with her walker, a dog collar, and one hastily written poem, Gertrude goes undercover in Portland's edgiest poetry venue. As the body count rises and Calvin's beloved Cadillac becomes a target, Gertrude's unconventional investigation methods might just crack the case... or prove that her imagination is running wild. Either way, the Portland poetry scene will never be the same.

Join the irrepressible amateur detective on her most outlandish case yet - where poetry might be deadly, but Gertrude's determination is the most dangerous force of all.
