Jack Erickson writes in multiple genres: international thrillers, mysteries, short mysteries, true crime, noir, and romantic suspense. He is currently writing the Milan Thriller Series featuring Italy's anti-terrorism police, DIGOS. Book 1 in the series is "Thirteen Days in Milan." The sequel, "No One Sleeps," was published in 2017. Book 3, "Vesuvius Nights," was published in 2019. Book 4, "The Lonely Assassin," was published in 2022. The models for Erickson's Milan thrillers are based on Donna Leon's Commissario Brunetti series in Venice, Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Salvo Montalbano in Sicily, and Michael Dibdin's Aurelio Zen series from Rome. The Leon, Camilleri, and Dibdin mystery series have been produced as popular TV series broadcast on PBS, BBC, RAI, and Deutsche Welle. Erickson has access to high-level officials in Milan's DIGOS, anti-terrorism police, at Milan's Questura (police headquarters) who help him with sophisticated surveillance and investigative procedures. On annual travels to Italy, Erickson does research, interviews sources, and samples Italian history, art, and culture. He has studied intensive Italian at La Scuola da Vinci in Rome, Florence, Milan, Torino, and Siena. On frequent visits to Milan, he meets with Italian and American friends, goes to opera at La Scala, and enjoys aperitivo at popular Milanese restaurants and trattoria. Erickson is a former Air Force intelligence officer, U.S. Senate speechwriter, Washington-based editor, and RedBrick Press publisher. In the 1980's and 1990's, he wrote and published five non-fiction books on the early craft brewing industry. His first book, STAR SPANGLED BEER: A GUIDE TO AMERICA'S NEW MICROBREWERIES AND BREWPUBS, was named best self-published book in 1987. Erickson lives in northern California with his wife.
