About the author
Micheal Maxwell
65 books75 followersMicheal Maxwell has traveled the globe on the lookout for strange sights, sounds, and people. His adventures have taken him from the Jungles of Ecuador and the Philippines to the top of the Eiffel Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge, and from the cave dwellings of Native Americans to The Kehlsteinhaus, Hitler’s Eagles Nest! He’s always looking for a story to tell and interesting people to meet.
Micheal Maxwell was taught the beauty and majesty of the English language by Bob Dylan, Robertson Davies, Charles Dickens, and Leonard Cohen.
Mr. Maxwell has traveled the globe, dined with politicians, rock stars, and beggars. He has rubbed shoulders with priests and murderers, surgeons and drug dealers, each one giving him a part of themselves that will live again in the pages of his books.
Micheal Maxwell has found a niche in the mystery, suspense, genre with The Cole Sage Series that gives readers an everyman hero, short on vices, long on compassion, and a sense of fair play, and the willingness to risk everything to right wrongs. The Cole Sage Series departs from the usual, heavily sexual, profanity-laced norm and gives readers character-driven stories, with twists, turns, and page-turning plot lines.
Micheal Maxwell writes from a life of love, music, film, and literature. Along with his lovely wife and travel partner, Janet, he lives in a small town in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.

Flynt and Steele are becoming partners. Flynt is just so lovable and so shy that how can Steele be mean to him. Besides Flynt is a very good detective with his quirky way of seeing things. This is definitely a detective story but the personal interchanges make it heartwarming. There is humor and human exchanges that show how and why Flynt is emotionally damaged. But then he experiences something profound that might make him better able to interact with his police colleagues. You must read a the first book in this series to understand how they become partners and why Flynt is considered an oddity. Just shows that we are all odd in our own way but that doesn’t make us unable to function. Give it a try. Book #3 will be out soon so get started.

Fun fast read! I didn’t think I would like this series, but I was looking for some thing a little more lighthearted but still in the crime genre. I like reading series because you can get to know the characters a lot more. These books although they’re supposed to be like crime thrillers they make me laugh and they’re very sweet.

great read
I read all the time but I’m not a good book reviewer. Suffice it to say, I liked Dead Duck. Flynn and Steele make great partners and are learning about each other. Hardly anyone, in the precinct, know what a good detective Flynn is. You won’t be sorry you read Dead Duck.

Best duo ever!
This is the second book I've read in this series and have already preordered the third! The detective duo is unique , but very likeable. Nice character development, and the story flowed smoothly. Can't wait for number three!!!

Dead Duck Soars
Book 2 of the Flynt & Steele series continues in its intriguing murder mystery way. Good read...and totally clean! I really enjoy an author who doesn’t resort to every gutter word invented. Storyline creative and fun. A must read!

Excellent
I read all 3 of these books, and loved them. Hope there is a fourth one,so I'll know what happened to the characters.
Starting on the Cole series next. So far the books are clean with lots of twists to them.

Book two in the series and Flynt continues to gain confidence. Very interesting start. A completely nude man, panted in camouflage, is found in a tree with a duck head in his mouth. Nothing to see here folks. The ME determines is was a heart attack and not murder. Those must have been some drugs. They traced the drugs to a college professor and then continue to track distributors that had gotten a hold of it and altered it. The altered drug wasn't quite the same formula and people are getting violent. What if a meth dealer got hold of it and altered it more. Where do they go from there. We have to wait for the next book
