Brief description:
Michael Norman, a native of Seattle, spent his adult life in Colorado and Utah. He is a former police officer, state parole board member, and professor of criminal justice at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. His first novel, The Commission, was named one of Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2007. He lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with his wife Diane, and their pit bulls, Eddie and Joyce.
Review Quotes:
"Norman paints Kincaid as a savvy modern-day hero who's more worried about raising his eight-year-old daughter than in scoring with a femme fatale or his comely partner. Sure, he's PC, but how can you not root for such a stand-up guy."
