Product Description
From Amazon
When a photograph of her lover, fellow officer John Darby, is found at the scene of a college coed's murder, Seattle detective Leah Harris takes a very personal interest in the investigation. Then Internal Affairs investigator Frank Milkovich uncovers a stash of Mexican heroin and nearly a million dollars in cash in the dead woman's house and discovers that Darby isn't who he said he was. What's the connection between the death of Christina Herrera and the disappearance of John Darby, and why are the chief of police and several of his top officers trying to keep it a secret? Hawley does a good job in this debut thriller, driving a crisp, tight narrative to a surprising denouement, and creating a couple of characters who deserve another outing. --Jane Adams

Rapid Fire Pace,
By A Customer
This review is from: Double Bluff (Paperback)
Get ready to wear a seatbelt when you read DOUBLE BLUFF -- you'll be propelled rapid fire alongside Seattle Police Detectives Leah Harris and Frank Milkovich as they race the clock to catch the bad guys, in this debut novel by Michael Hawley. The characters, the city, and the criminals are all believeable -- after all, Hawley's a cop himself. The only thing better than DOUBLE BLUFF is Hawley's second novel, SILENT PROOF.

As entertaining as Fox network's "24",
By Rational Man (Issaquah, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Double Bluff (Paperback)
Double bluff is an utterly involving, intricately woven, thrill-a-minute, crime mystery akin to the television program "24." And just like that program, it all takes place in the space of 24 hours (well, just a few more). Like "24," Double Bluff doesn't go into much detail about the characters, and some readers might feel that the author could have added a little more detail. But that would have slowed the breakneck pace of the book. While I wouldn't want every book I read to take this approach -- just as I wouldn't want every television show I watch to be "24" -- a book like Double Bluff is a great change of pace and a real adrenaline rush. I heartily recommend it.

Not So Fast,
By Ted Heffle (Lynnwood, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Double Bluff (Paperback)
As a retired LA cop, I can tell you that Hawley lacks street experience. However, his book is entertaining, and the story is told in the typical crime story fashion most people are accustomed to. With his second book out, I am wondering how Hawley has the time to be a sheriff? Of course, I have been hardened by the streets of LA.
