Michael Wiley (author)

Michael Wiley writes the award-winning Joe Kozmarski hard-boiled detective mystery series, including the books "The Last Striptease" (2007), "The Bad Kitty Lounge" (2010), and "A Bad Night's Sleep" (2011). The series is set in contemporary Chicago. The Last Striptease won the PWA/SMP (Private Eye Writers of America/St. Martin's Press) prize for Best First Novel and was a nominee for a Shamus Award in the same category. Wiley's fiction has been praised broadly for reinvigorating the conventions of private detective novels, earning comparisons to Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett along with other practitioners of PI writing.

Michael Wiley lives in Jacksonville, Florida, and teaches at the University of North Florida. He is also the author of two nonfiction books, "Romantic Geography" and "Romantic Migrations" as well as many articles and book reviews.
