About Morley Swingle

morley swingle

Morley Swingle is a former prosecutor now writing mystery/thrillers. He follows the adage to “write what you know.” Each novel features at least one murder and at least one courtroom scene. He hasn’t personally murdered anyone (yet) but during over thirty years as a state and federal prosecutor, he prosecuted 111 homicide cases and tried 178 jury trials. He has been a member of Mystery Writers of America since 2008.

Bootheel Man is Morley Swingle’s third book and second novel, and it proves that some lawyers can actually write entertainingly.”
— Harry Levins, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
