Michael Balter is an award-winning author whose debut novel, Chasing Money, was selected as the top crime thriller of 2023 by the Best Indie Book Awards.
Midwest Book Review calls Chasing Money “Exceptionally clever and compelling.” The BookLife Prize said Chasing Money features “A strong voice paired with authentic dialogue” and is “packed with action.” It was awarded 5 stars by Reader’s Favorite, who called it “an impressive debut novel by a gifted author.”
Known as a talented and witty storyteller, Michael Balter has captivated audiences for years with tales of his extraordinary life as a German emigrant, a Vietnam War veteran, a Silicon Valley pioneer, and a serial entrepreneur. One of his business partners was once kidnapped by a Russian mobster, which inspired a portion of the plot of Chasing Money, the first book in his Marty and Bo thriller series.
Michael lived in Oregon for 29 years and now makes his home in Charlevoix, Michigan, where he is hard at work on the sequel to Chasing Money.
