Who says crime doesn't pay?


Meet Bobby Custer - He's psychotic, narcissistic, psychopathic, greedy . . . and always charming.


Disbarred and out of jail, Bobby takes a unique path. But as the bodies begin to pile up you have to wonder if there isn't something about him that's just not . . . right.


Chilling and action packed, the Corridor Man series exposes a dark and violent undercurrent just beneath the surface of "perfectly legal and above board."

Mike Faricy was awarded the 2016 IACM Silver Award for Best Mystery Author.

His books have held the #1 slot in the Kindle Store in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and India.

Mike Faricy was listed as the IACM Author of the Month for April 2018.

His Dev Haskell tale, The Office, was a finalist for the 2018 Minnesota Book Awards and the 2018 Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award.

He was awarded the Crime Masters of America Poison Cup Award in January of 2019.

His Dev Haskell tale, Star Struck, was a mystery finalist for the 2019 Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award.

The Dirty Lowdown called Mike Faricy America's hottest new mystery writer.

Robert Carraher referred to him as Minnesota's Master of the Bizarre.

Crime Scene referred to him as the next Carl Hiaasen.

Crime Capers said; "Open at your own risk, you won't put him down."

UnderCover wrote; "This guy is nuts and one hell of a lot of fun.”

The Irish Gazette referred to; "The laugh a minute storylines of Faricy's deliciously engaging worlds."

Mike’s Dev Haskell series books are stand-alone, they can be read in any order. His Corridor Man series was initially written under the pseudonym Nick James and should be read in order. His Jack Dillon Dublin Tales series was originally written under the pseudonym, Patrick Emmett. His Hotshot series are standalone tales that can be read in any order. Faricy's novels are filled with the sort of oddballs we're all curious about, but wisely prefer to keep at a distance. His characters serve not so much as an example as they do a warning. None of them will be saving the world from terrorism, international banking conspiracies or coups to take over the government. Rather, Faricy's characters inhabit a world just below the surface of polite society. The circumstances they find themselves in are usually due to their own bad decisions, but then bad decisions make for interesting stories.

Reminiscent of the late Robert B. Parker, Faricy's tightly woven Dev Haskell series is penned with a delightful sense of humor and even some romance. Entertainment is the name of the game as back-slapping, corner-cutting, babe magnet Dev Haskell interacts with such quirky characters as ice cream mogul Mr. Swirlee, The D'Angelo brothers, local crime lord Tubby Gustafson, 'Fat Freddie' Zimmerman, former NFL tight end Luscious Dixon, exotic dancer Swindle Lawless, and gorgeous Heidi Bauer. The Dev Haskell novels can be read in any order.

Faricy's Corridor Man series was originally released under the pen name Nick James. The series is a bit more gritty than the Dev Haskell series and a lot more violent. Disbarred attorney Bobby Custer makes his way back into the legal game. He's neurotic, psychotic, psychopathic, narcissistic, greedy, unprincipled and . . . always charming.

Faricy's Jack Dillon Dublin Tales series was originally released under the pen name Patrick Emmett. US Marshal Jack Dillon is sent to Dublin to escort a prisoner back to the US. Things don't go exactly as planned and trouble ensues. Dillon becomes permanently stationed in Dublin, just to get him out of his boss's hair. Things take an entertaining turn from there, think of a cross between Dev Haskell and James Bond.

Faricy's Hotshot series are zany, delightfully entertaining standalone crime tales.

Enjoy the reads!

Originally from Saint Paul, Minnesota, Faricy still spends six months of the year in the saintly city as well as six months in Dublin, Ireland. Contact information for Mike is listed just after this shameless list of titles. Thanks for taking the time and be sure to tell 2-300 of your closest friends.

The protagonist is a rascal with class. The kind of guy you can't resist but know you should. Having read many of Mike Faricy's novels, his style holds your attention and leaves you looking forward to his next adventure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings!

I felt a rapport with 'Bobby' right away; after all, he'd 'only' been in prison for a white collar crime. Being let out early came with strings attached, however. As Bobby proceeds to find a place to live, accumulates household necessities and questionable friends, we do not hear from the string pullers except briefly. Things move along quickly and our man Bobby becomes more and more embroiled in deeper plots! Seems like everyone he meets has an ulterior motive and soon bodies are dropping everywhere. I was hooked! Book One ended abruptly, leaving me saying WHAT! Come on, I've read a lot of series; that's NOT the way to end a book! I got the rest of the series and read on. In Book 2 Chapter 16, Bobby shows his true character, and no longer has my sympathy. I read on to the end of the set of books; but I found not one character to have redeeming qualities, NO ONE cared about anyone else and only sought to exploit or hurt people. At the end of book 5 there was a sample of 6-I did not go further. I'm over it! And yet...it was a good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amoral psychopath? Weird daily journal? You decide.
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2023

I have never read such bizarre books before, either content or style. I'm halfway through the second one, and will probably update this when I stop reading. Will I make it through all ten? I do not know. They are an easy read, page turners.

Bobby simply has no morals, good or bad, he just does what he needs to or wants to or .... something. Definitely has plans, very flexible ones. People die, get beat up, blackmailers turn into the blackmailed. People frame others for crimes, then get framed. I have a very rough idea of where this is going, and I'm still reading.

As for the style ... it's detailed as if someone were keeping a log of everything Bobby does, but not really that detailed, it just seems that way. Chapters seem more like new chapter headings every several dozen paragraphs. Book 1 ends even more abruptly than a classic cliff hanger, book 2 picks up as if there wasn't a moment's break.

But the read so smooth, I've been staying up past midnight, trying to guess what Bobby's various plans are. Sometimes he comes across as just any person, boring, vanilla, nothing special, and then he frames somebody, gets beat up, and all written in exactly the same style, no change of pace, very suiting for his absolutely amoral character. That did surprise me, how well this bland featureless style fits his bland featureless morals. No morals. No style. Weird.

ETA ...

I've finished all ten "books", and decided to add this rather than revise the above. I was wrong about where it was heading, but otherwise not much changed by the end.

I do not know what to make of this one story in ten volumes. I had thought it was a detective / mystery series, like others by the same author; it is not. It is one single story, not ten separate standalone "stories", with almost arbitrary story and chapter breaks, as if the whole thing was written in one stream, arbitrarily split into 10 stories, and each story arbitrarily split into chapters, with little relation to the narrative flow. It leaves me very dissatisfied and wondering why I bothered to read all ten "stories".

* The story is about Bobby, a disbarred lawyer, released from prison and tricked/coerced into a petty job, seemingly grooming him for greater things befitting his amoral personality. Mysterious benefactors, bosses, co-workers, stooges, lovers, enemies, even police and other characters appear and disappear with no more satisfactory explanation than why he was released early from prison for this particular job. The few characters that seem to be worth rooting for soon degenerate into expendables with lapsed morals -- but they do at least have morals, both good and bad, unlike Bobby.

* Bobby's amorality is the only constant. He lies, cheats, steals, kills, and has sex with no more concern than breathing. The closest it gets to humor is his habit of pocketing all bills and loose change he finds when snooping, such as three quarters on a kitchen counter. He rips the last few pages from a paperback someone is reading, just to be mean. Oh, and his last name is Custer, no relation, ha ha.

* This amorality is perfectly matched by the writing style, and that matchup is about all that kept me going to the pointless end, thinking maybe it was intentional to illustrate a psychopath's lack of emotional ups and downs (I am no psychiatrist). The narrative just plods along at the same pace regardless of what is happening, whether gunfights, eating, sex, or conversation. You come to detest "shoveled another forkful of food into his mouth" and several other phrases, and all those activities are described just as briefly. He walks to a car, takes out his key, unlocks the door, opens the door, gets in, closes the door, pushes the start button .... after a while you learn to recognize the patterns and just skim over the set phrases.

* The ending isn't much, just another arbitrary story/chapter split. Are another 10 "stories" popping up any day now? I won't buy them; once bitten, twice shy.

About the only thing in its favor is that Bobby's amorality and the relentlessly unemotional style are an interesting fit, intentional or not. But the first few chapters are enough. If you are curious, buy the first. The remaining 9 differ only in the gradually changing cast of supporting characters. If you are really curious, buy the last and read the last couple of chapters. No amount of curiosity will be satisfied by reading the other 8 in between.

Volumes 1 through 5 of the Corridor Man series are fairly entertaining as long as you are willing to books that feature a psychopath as the lead character and all the other characters are even worse when it comes to morals, legalities, and murder. I will not be reading more of this odd series.

This series had me hooked from the get go. Bobby Custer is a truly crooked character. Yet, despite the depths he will go to “get ahead” I had to admire his ability to not only survive with his life intact but to generally turn a nice profit at the same time. Each book is a page turner with never a dull moment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, addictive series

Bobby Custer clearly has no redeeming qualities, but for some reason I can’t put these books down. I loved Mike Faricy’s Dev Haskell series and came upon this when I ran out of books to read. Bobby seems to be some kind of opposite side of the coin of Dev—where Dev really is a good guy at heart, Bobby doesn’t seem to have a heart at all. If you are fascinated by the dark side of human nature, you will probably enjoy this series. It is unpredictable and generally well-edited. I don’t always write reviews, but I felt this series isn’t getting enough credit for a good guilty pleasure read.

This was the last of Mike Faricy's series that I picked up, and I read all ten in the series straight through. If you've read Mike's other work, don't expect this one to have a similar protagonist! In the first part of the series, Bobby Custer was someone I hated to love - he was a jerk, but you were rooting for him.

You'll get pulled into the intrigue right away in this fast-paced series! I was glad this was a box set because as soon as I finished one, I couldn't wait to jump into the next.

Unlike the other series, this one is not really made up of stand-alone stories. To compare it to a TV show, these are like the first five episodes of a ten-episode season! And trust me...you'll be binge-reading!

When I started reading this series I was surprised as it was so different to what I expected and not my usual choice of story. Having said that I was totally hooked before the first set of books finished and I have since read books 6-9 and am just starting on the final book 10.The main character is a nasty serial killer but he comes across as a likeable hero…amazing bit of writing to project that….

I read the first book in this box set and really thought that this man had just made some bad decisions. How wrong I was, I got as far as part way through the second book before I shelved the whole lot. This person is not even a good anti-hero he is just plain rotten, pity his mother didn't shoot him at birth. On top of that the stories suck. Will not be bothered to return to this set and think I'll just the delete the whole lot, so glad these were free books or I would have kicked myself for wasting money.
