Michael Ray Ewing is the winner of the prestigious Emerging Writers Gateway Contest for best new crime thriller. Satan's Gold was inspired by his work as a Bell Labs engineer on the United States Federal Reserve's network, FEDNET. An avid mountain biker and resident of Arizona, Mike writes about people who risk everything for the sake of doing what they know is right.
Crime thriller readers are in for a treat with Satan's Gold, which in 2014 won first prize in the Emerging Writer's Gateway Contest for new crime fiction. Its vivid story of bankers, computer hackers, people, and financial systems is gripping, from its opening image of storms and offshore money transactions to Tyler Jackson's goal of getting his life back on track after a disaster.--Diane Donovan for Midwest Book Review
