There's a reason the widely-acclaimed, Shamus Award-nominated Streeter series is so believable: Michael Stone has been a working private detective for 25 years. He's also a former award-winning investigative reporter and uses his hard-earned knowledge to bring a unique, cutting edge to his crime noir fiction featuring Streeter, a lone-wolf PI unlike any other in print.
Shamus Award Nominated Writer Michael Stone started his career as a newspaper reporter, working as a correspondent for The Dallas Morning News and winning awards for his investigative journalism, before becoming a private detective in Denver. He used that experience to powerful effect when he became a crime fiction novelist. Stone's blockbuster series of thrillers began with The Low End of Nowhere, which introduced bounty hunter Streeter, the tough-guy-with-a-tender-heart tracking down terrifying criminals on the streets of Denver. The smashing debut earned Stone praise from Robert B. Parker and other crime fiction legends...and snagged him a coveted Shamus Award nomination for best novel from the Private Eye Writers of America. The book was quickly followed by A Long Reach, Token of Remorse, and Totally Dead, each a uniquely-authentic and explosive mystery packed with the author's real-life experience. Stone's series of crime noir fiction is both darkly-funny and deeply-gritty...and rates as some of the most original and cutting edge work in the mystery genre.
