David C. Taylor writes crime fiction set in mid-century America, a period when political paranoia and social upheaval made for rich storytelling material. His Michael Cassidy series places a New York City detective in the thick of the 1950s, when McCarthyism and Cold War fears shaped daily life as much as any crime on the street.

Taylor’s writing has a noir sensibility, with morally complicated characters operating in a city that looks glamorous on the surface but hides plenty of ugliness underneath. His historical research grounds the fiction in real period detail, making 1950s New York feel vivid and specific.
