Michael Simon taught at Brooklyn College and New York University.

From Booklist:

Lieutenant Dan Reles (rhymes with trellis) doesn't fit in on the Austin, Texas, police force. He's from New York, he's Jewish, and his estranged father's ties to the Mob have limited his opportunities for career advancement. In his fourth appearance (the last was Little Faith, 2006), Reles' past catches up with him in a hurry when his father, Ben, shows up one night with a Russian prostitute in tow—and fearsome Mob boss Sam Zelig in hot pursuit. Simon usually explores social inequity, and while race, religion, and class still inform the action (and Reles' dismal home life provides plenty of pathos), this time he's written more of a straight thriller with the requisite larger-than-life villain. It's fast, furious, and more anarchic than usual. Procedural fans might query a few points, and the bombastic ending might be less creative than Simon's capable of, but never mind. We keep comparing Simon to L.A. Quartet–era James Ellroy, and the comparison is still apt; fans tired of the latter's telegrammatic tics will read this very strong series with a sigh of relief.
