About the author
Frank Hickey
19 books8 followers Frank has recently returned from three years overseas, working with refugees from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Being not Ukranian, 68 years old, with a heart condition and bad knees, knowing nobody in Ukraine, he decided to go there just the same.
His book 'Ukraine, Whaddya Gonna Do? or Sunshine, SALO and Sirens' tells the true story of those years. Written during rocket attacks and blackouts, he writes true vignettes of laughter, suffering and love throughout this genocidal war.
Throughout his early years, Frank Hickey worked the Harlem streets as a private eye. He lived for months undercover in the Cajun bayous of Louisiana, hunting a killer. His adventures have taken him around the world. Living outdoors or in crude huts, he learned local languages and culture.
Carrying the gold shield of a Detective-Investigator/Police Officer, he served in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office on an international serial killer case. Using the Sicilian language, he also went undercover against the New York Mafia.
As a corporal in the Savannah, Georgia Police Department, he learned about
the South. Later, as an LAPD officer, he initiated one-person foot patrols in high-crime areas amid gang wars and drive-by shootings.
37 years of crime adventures from the jungles of Thailand to southern swamps to the streets of New York form his life.
Besides his Max Royster series, Frank also co-wrote Spy, the Movie starring Vincent Pastore [The Sopranos].
