Bio
Michael Mayo’s (b. 1948) Jimmy Quinn suspense novels are pulp adventures set in Prohibition-era New York. They reflect the criminal enterprises, politics, and sexual and racial attitudes of those tumultuous times. As such, they are often rude and offensive to contemporary standards. His non-fiction includes “American Murder: Criminals, Crime, and the Media”; “Videohound’s Horror Show” and “War Movies.” He edited three volumes of “The DVD Guide,” and was the host of the nationally syndicated radio programs Movie Show on Radio and Max and Mike on the Movies. He has written about film for the Washington Post and the Roanoke Times.
Reviews
“Mayo persuasively portrays such real-life mobsters as Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano in a tale sure to appeal to fans of Max Allan Collins’s gangster historicals.” —Publishers Weekly
