Mike Faricy

Mike Faricy was awarded the 2016 IACM Silver Award for Best Mystery Author.\nHis books have held the #1 slot in the Kindle Store in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and India.\nHe was listed as the IACM Author of the Month for April 2018.\nHis Dev Haskell Tale, The Office, was a finalist for the 2018 Minnesota Book Awards and the 2018 Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award. His 2019 novel Star Struck was a mystery finalist for the 2019 Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award.\nHe was awarded the Crime Masters of America Poison Cup Award in January of 2019.\n\nMike’s Dev Haskell series books are stand-alone, they can be read in any order. His Corridor Man series was initially written under the pseudonym Nick James and should be read in order. His Jack Dillon Dublin Tales series was originally written under the pseudonym, Patrick Emmett. His Hotshot series are standalone tales that can be read in any order. Faricy's novels are filled with the sort of oddballs we're all curious about, but wisely prefer to keep at a distance. His characters serve not so much as an example as they do a warning. None of them will be saving the world from terrorism, international banking conspiracies or coups to take over the government. Rather, Faricy's characters inhabit a world just below the surface of polite society. The circumstances they find themselves in are usually due to their own bad decisions, but then bad decisions make for interesting stories. \n\nReminiscent of the late Robert B. Parker, Faricy's tightly woven Dev Haskell series is penned with a delightful sense of humor and even some romance. Entertainment is the name of the game as back-slapping, corner-cutting, babe-magnet Dev Haskell interacts with such quirky characters as ice cream mogul Mr. Swirlee, The D'Angelo brothers, local crime lord Tubby Gustafson, 'Fat Freddie' Zimmerman, former NFL tight end Luscious Dixon, exotic dancer Swindle Lawless, and gorgeous Heidi Bauer. The Dev Haskell novels can be read in any order.\n\nFaricy's Corridor Man series was originally released under the pen name Nick James. The series is a bit more gritty than the Dev Haskell series and a lot more violent. Disbarred attorney Bobby Custer makes his way back into the legal game. He's neurotic, psychotic, psychopathic, narcissistic, greedy, unprincipled and . . . always charming.\n\nFaricy's Jack Dillon Dublin Tales series was originally released under the pen name Patrick Emmett. US Marshal Jack Dillon is sent to Dublin to escort a prisoner back to the US. Things don't go exactly as planned and trouble ensues. Dillon becomes permanently stationed in Dublin, just to get him out of his boss's hair. Things take an entertaining turn from there, think of a cross between Dev Haskell and James Bond.\n\nFaricy's Hotshot series are zany, delightfully entertaining standalone crime tales.\n\nOriginally from Saint Paul, Minnesota, Faricy still spends six months of the year in the saintly city as well as six months in Dublin, Ireland. \n\nThe Hotshot series (Read in any order)\nReduced Ransom!\nFinders Keepers\n\nDev Haskell - Private Investigator series (Read in any order)\nRussian Roulette: Case 1\nMr. Swirlee: Case 2\nBite Me: Case 3\nBombshell: Case 4\nTutti Frutti: Case 5\nLast Shot: Case 6\nTing-A-Ling: Case 7\nCrickett: Case 8\nBulldog: Case 9\nDouble Trouble: Case 10\nYellow Ribbon: Case 11\nDog Gone: Case 12\nScam Man: Case 13\nFoiled: Case 14\nWhat Happens in Vegas: Case 15\nArt Hound: Case 16\nThe Office: Case 17\nStar Struck: Case 18\nInternational Incident: Case 19\nTwinkle Toes (a Dev Haskell short story)\nDoll House (A Dev Haskell novella)\nThe Dance (A Dev Haskell novella)\nPixie (A Dev Haskell novella)\nFORE!
