 
In my writing, I have
tried to be faithful to the island and its businesses. I
should remind you that my stories are fiction, because
crime as I write it does not happen in Key West. We are a
long way from the mayhem and gangs of Miami, but with a
vivid imagination, I have been able to create the
situations needed for a political-murder mystery series.
Below is a list of
my books and short stories. Feel free to read a few
chapters or just browse through my site. Thank you for
checking in and please keep coming back for updates. |

Mexico, finds Mick Murphy up against Central American

government involvement in the death of Jesuits and
their housekeeper in El Salvador. |

"FREE RANGE
INSTITUTION by Michael Haskins is “A masterful
tropical mystery. Every city has an ugly underbelly
populated with bad guys—even touristy Key West. In
Michael Haskins’ deft storytelling, this
tip-of-Florida isle—literally at the end of the
road—is equal parts paradise and murderous mayhem, one
made all the more exciting by his hero, Boston
Irishman Mad Mick Murphy.” -- W.E.B. Griffin & William
E. Butterworth IV, Wall Street Journal and New York
Times #1 bestselling authors
“Free Range
Institution: Imagine . . . cocaine cowboys,
side street shootouts, big city crimes in small town
surroundings, fallen angels, a chain-smoking priest .
. . corruption . . . greed . . . murder . . . covert
operations . . . with journalist Mad Mick Murphy
reporting. Michael Haskins’ narrative makes us
comfortable in Key West . . . before he roars through
the island like a Tropical Hurricane. It’s a perfect
storm." -- Steven M. Forman, author of “Boca Knights”
and “Boca Mournings”
“I’ve had the privilege of spending a month during
each of three years on Key West. Michael Haskins, now,
has lived on the Rock for more than a decade. And,
like most non-natives who become reporters for local
newspapers, he’s absorbed more island life and lore
than most. FREE RANGE INSTITUTION is a wonderful new
entry in his Mick Murphy mystery series. Happily for
those who love Key West, FREE RANGE INSTITUTION is
both a terrific ride through, and a terrific read
about, the people and places personifying America’s
beachhead in the ‘North Caribbean.’” -- Jeremiah
Healy, author of RESCUE and SPIRAL |
