Crime-fighting literary duo Barack Obama and Joe Biden are reuniting as part-time amateur gumshoes in “Hope Rides Again,” satirist Andrew Shaffer’s follow-up to last summer’s best-selling murder mystery “Hope Never Dies.”

Released this week, “Hope Rides Again” follows the former president and vice president “as they chase Obama’s stolen cell phone through the streets of Chicago–and right into a vast conspiracy,” according to book publisher Penguin Random House. While tracking down Obama’s “prized Blackberry,” the two action heroes encounter burlesque dancers, Russian masseurs, Michelle Obama and, of course, murder.
