Walpow is best known for his thrilling mystery novels, including the Joe Portugal mystery series, which consists of four novels with a fifth and final one in the works. His short fiction has also gained significant recognition, with "Push Comes to Shove" being selected for the Best American Mystery Stories series, and "A Good Day's Work" being optioned for a movie.
