About the author

I was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, I still live there as well as in Dublin, Ireland. I've been a soldier, freelance journalist, tended bar, sold designer cakes, owned a painting and decorating company along with a number of other schemes and scams. If that doesn't offend you I also play bagpipes with the Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band. All my books stand alone, read them in whatever order you wish. They are filled with the sort of oddballs we are all curious about, but wisely, prefer to keep at a distance. None of my characters will be saving the world from terrorism, international banking conspiracies or coups to take over the government. Rather, they inhabit a world just below the surface of polite society, characters with one foot on either side of the law. The circumstances they find themselves in are usually due to bad decisions, but bad decisions lead to interesting stories. They serve not so much as an example but as a warning to us all. Thanks for taking the time, happy reading.

INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT - Dev Does Paris
At the 'request' of crime boss, Tubby Gustafson, Dev Haskell finds himself winging across the Atlantic to protect said crime boss's 'niece,' Maddie and her overly large suitcase. Of course, Dev finds himself seated with a behemoth that should book two seats.

I know, Dev in Paris? Hard to fathom!

For all the built in gags and laughs, Mike Faricy follows the rule of mystery writing that says no detail, however small, is extraneous to the plot. As the story moves along, some of those little things take on new importance as Dev and Maddie do some sightseeing and shopping while dark forces do their best to ruin everything.

Mysteries are hard to review without giving away the farm. My hope is to tantalize you, the book browser, into picking up this fun read for yourself. While you're at it, you should consider starting this series with book 1, RUSSIAN ROULETTE, curling up in your favorite reading spot, with your beverage of choice, and binging all the books.

GUEST FROM HELL - Heidi Asks, Dev Accedes
"When this old world starts getting you down…" grab the next book in the Dev Haskell - Private Investigator series and settle in for an evening or two of chicks, crooks, and chaos. GUEST FROM HELL was the 20th book in the series (until some boxsets became integrated into the series list). Now, it's book 23 (if you're keeping track.)

With each story, Dev becomes less and less the hard-drinking, womanizing PI and more responsible citizen. He still shares an office with Louie Laufen and has a brew or two with Louie at The Spot. Louie offers more legal advice during his chats with Dev. The thing that hasn't changed is the humor that surrounds the bizarre circumstances in which Dev finds himself.

GUEST FROM HELL is not the first time Dev has found himself rooming with a crazy person, but I have the sneaking suspicion it may be the last. He may also think twice (or maybe three times) before helping his main squeeze, Heidi Bauer, when she flatters him into submission.

There is no doubt that I will read all the Dev Haskell books, especially with the state of the world today. The need to escape is ever present, and Devlin Haskell provides the perfect getaway.

ART ATTACK - Serious As…
When it comes to beautiful women, Devlin Haskell always ends up in trouble. This time, it's the beauty queen high school sweetheart. She begs him to find her missing husband. He's only been missing for six months or so. Louie Laufen, Dev's lawyer and office mate, tries to warn him off, but the face and figure win over common sense. Haskell discovers there is more than just one missing artist in Minnesota.

ART ATTACK is filled with the laugh out loud humor I've come to expect from the series alongside some serious crime. I've been reading Dev Haskell - Private Investigator in order starting with the first book. In this way I've come to know a certain cast of characters and been able to watch a subtle change in Dev himself. Each book seems a little better than the last, and they allow me to escape the crazy world that is the twenty-first century.

This is a series best read from book one and onward. There are a number of boxsets to set you on the road to the story of Dev Haskell - Private Investigator.

Entertaining

An entertaining set of books not to be taken seriously.
Mild humour mixed with a bit of mystery and intrigue.
I like these books and I like Dev Haskel.
