Mike Wessels is the author of noir and hard-boiled mystery thrillers filled with corruption, dangerous secrets, and the kind of truth that never comes without a price. His fiction leans into noir atmosphere, tension, and morally complicated characters forced to navigate worlds where power hides behind polished surfaces and every choice carries consequences.
He created Elric Voss as a no nonsense type of protagonist that is tough enough to endure the noir atmosphere, tension, and moral issues without becoming a caricature of the man he was trying to become. His flaw and his ultimate secret makes him a real person.
Drawn to dark mysteries, sharp suspense, and the classic pull of detective fiction, Mike writes stories that combine noir mood with modern stakes. His work explores what happens when ordinary lies give way to deeper conspiracies, and when the people chasing the truth must decide how much of themselves they are willing to lose to find it.
Start with The Price of Silence, the haunting prequel that reveals the first cracks in Elric’s world. Continue into Deadly Truth, where a routine missing persons case spirals into corruption, conspiracy, and murder. Then descend deeper into darkness with Midnight Witness, where a frightened witness and a city built on lies threaten to destroy everything Elric has left.
Filled with rain-soaked streets, dangerous power plays, unforgettable women, and truths better left buried, the Elric Voss Mystery Series delivers classic hard-boiled noir with modern conspiracy thriller tension.
Every story I write is a promise — that the darkness will mean something, and the truth will cost someone everything.
