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 bestselling books include the Shamus Award-winning Frank Pavlicek series and a number of other crime novels and thrillers. He is also a past finalist for the Agatha and the Anthony Awards.
