We are pleased to welcome New York Times bestselling thriller author, James Hayman, to the library. Like one of the heroes of his thrillers, Detective Sergeant Mike McCabe, James is a native New Yorker. McCabe was born in the Bronx. James was born in Brooklyn. And they both grew up and spent much of their working lives in New York City before eventually moving to Portland, Maine. However, that's where the similarities end.
