Andy Straka

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 is a former college basketball player, a licensed falconer, and longtime husband and father. His novels include SPLIT CITY, the first in a new amateur sleuth mystery series; A WITNESS ABOVE, the first in the Shamus Award-winning Frank Pavlicek private investigator series; the techno-thriller trilogy DRAGONFLIES; and the critically-acclaimed suspense thrillers RECORD OF WRONGS and THE BLUE HALLELUJAH. Andy is also a past finalist for the Agatha Award and the Anthony Award. Learn more at andystraka.com
