The 509 Crime Stories by Colin Conway is his longest-running series, with 21 books published since 2019 and more on the way. The “509” is Spokane’s area code, and the city itself is as much a character in these books as any of the criminals, cops, and ordinary people caught up in trouble. Each novel tells its own self-contained story while sharing the same world.
Conway started the series with five books in 2019 alone and has kept up a fast publishing pace ever since. The stories range from small-time hustles gone wrong to full-blown murder investigations, all set against the backdrop of Spokane’s streets. Fans of authors like Don Winslow and Elmore Leonard who enjoy crime fiction rooted in a specific place will find a lot to like here.
