John M. Garzone lives most of the year in southwest Florida but maintains close ties and family connections with western Massachusetts. He enjoys spending time with other writers who share their current projects at weekly meetings on the Bradenton campus of the State College of Florida. He is a fan of the detective genre in print, on television and in film and finds satisfaction crafting plots and characters for his short stories as well as the Mike and Myra series. In addition to the current volume, Cryptic Control, the series includes the previously published Crowd Control, Covert Control and Crazed Control. All four works reflect Mr. Garzone's deep roots in the Berkshires.
