“Michael’s versatile writing skills stretch as wide as his real life personalities. There is the humanitarian, the criminalist, the athlete, the adventurer, the environmentalist, the novelist, and the medical researcher. His probing nature opens the reader’s mind to the many stories within a story. There are pearls of wisdom and wonderful life lessons to be learned within them all. This is an enlightening, enjoyable read.”

- Carl Stincelli, former detective on the Golden State Killer case, Author, Educator.

“Dealing with demons sometimes brings unexpected treasures. Michael Bowker and I bonded during the hunt for the Golden State Killer. As the first female homicide detective on the case, I deeply appreciated Michael’s accurate and highly sensitive handling of the stories of the victims. He is a superb writer.”

- Carol Daly, lead investigator in the Golden State Killer case, Sacramento Sheriff’s Office. ‘International Detective of the Year’ award-winner.

“Among the many things he writes about, Bowker is a science columnist who offers compelling stories. These are usually about things that governments and lawyers don’t want people to know about, regarding certain toxic killers.”

– Powell Books
