I’ve written hundreds of pieces for The Moderate Voice over the years, many with a quirky, humorous edge. Here’s a brief description of my latest comic novel, Murder At Bernstein’s, featuring the same sort of edge. You might like to check it out on Amazon:

Best,
Mike

The billionaire creator of a financial news empire wants to be elected Mayor of Philadelphia. He looks like a shoe-in until the man who runs his stock market music department is murdered.

What follows is a manic romp that sucks in the world’s wackiest detective (who now bills himself a freelance intellectual); a financial poet praying for the big break; a head hunter prone to extreme sexual expressiveness; a Philadelphia lawyer who will take anyone as a client; a homicide detective seeking true love; a municipal repair crew run amok; and a parrot with a tendency to become offensive.

They all come together in Murder At Bernstein’s, a novel by former Bloomberg senior editor and NPR’s Wall Street poet, Michael Silverstein.
