This article relates to Speak of the Devil
About the author: Richard Hawke is a pseudonym of
Tim Cockey, also author of the humorous mystery
series featuring undertaker Hitchcock Sewell which
starts with The Hearse You Came In On.
Speak of the Devil is the first of his Fritz Malone
series written under the name Richard Hawke. The
second will be published next week (Mar 13, 2007) and
was written up in the February issue of "BookBrowse
Previews". Booklist gave it a starred review
saying, "Hawke's smart prose, easy wit, and unforced
pathos make this a great suggestion for readers mourning
the loss of Harlan Coben's Myron Bolitar or Stephen
Greenleaf's John Marshall Tanner."
