Mysteries by Sheriff Michael A. Hawley
Island County, WA

Sheriff Mike Hawley

"Michael Hawley is thoroughly familiar with how crimes are investigated, how internal police politics can play a significant and often detrimental part in that investigation, and how incredible the resulting frustration faced by dedicated officers can be. Add to that mix Hawley's very readable writing style and a genuine talent at producing cliff hangers which makes it hard to put SILENT PROOF down until those last lines."

John A. Broussard -- I Love a Mystery Reviews

"Sheriff Hawley's...background brings gritty detail to the gripping page-turner, evoking vivid scenes from the point of view of those who serve on the thin blue line.."

Peggy McMullen--Portland Oregonian

"If you liked DOUBLE BLUFF Hawley's first thriller, you're going to love SILENT PROOF."

Dan Hays-- Salem Statesman Journal

"By day he fights crime, by night Island County Sheriff Mike Hawley writes about it... Hawley knows the mechanics of both police work and mystery writing."

Doug Esser--Associated Press

"This is an author with a unique blend of experience and talent. DOUBLE BLUFF is a roller-coaster of a read. It will keep you guessing until the very end."

Steve Martini--New York Times Bestselling Author

"DOUBLE BLUFF is a fascinating police thriller starring two great protagonists who deserve their own series."

Harriet Klausner--Midwest Book Review

"DOUBLE BLUFF is filled with suspense and an amazing plot. Hawley—a sheriff—pulls together the different story lines simply and expertly. The authenticity of his words rings throughout, and I can't wait for his next book in the series."
