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."
