About Andy

​

The first hint of Andy Straka's future as a mystery writer came at the age of four when he appeared at his small-town neighbor's back door carrying a butcher's knife. Thankfully, the neighbor called Andy's mother instead of social services. 

​

Andy's novels include Split City, the first in a new amateur sleuth mystery series; the #1 bestselling private eye novel A Witness Above and Shamus Award-winning Frank Pavlicek series; the techno thriller trilogy Dragonflies; and the critically-acclaimed suspense thrillers Record Of Wrongs and The Blue Hallelujah. Featured by Publishers Weekly among a group of "rising stars" in crime fiction, Andy is also a past finalist for the Agatha Award and the Anthony Award.
