Cal Claxton Mysteries

As a writer, Warren C. Easley is unparalleled within the world of modern mystery fiction, creating edge-of-the-seat thrillers that enthral the reader from the outset. Very much an American writer as well, he brings a whole range of influences into his work, including that of British writer Ian Fleming and his much loved James Bond novels. Showing a clear love of the spy genre, he would immerse himself in the fictional world of espionage, keeping the reader guessing throughout. His passion for mystery novels is also something from which he has made his name from over the years as well. Living all across the world, including Europe, which included much of the eighties, Easley would bring his experiences into his work. Not only that, but he would also hold a passion for authors such as John Le Carre throughout the years as well. All of this would add up to create one of the most enthralling and exciting literary careers that the mystery genre has seen to date. This would also see him heading to Oregon too, an American state that was going to feature heavily in his work in the years to follow. One such series is that of the ‘Cal Claxton Mysteries’ set of novels, which is a mystery fiction collection of novels that are still ongoing. Drawing from the greats once again such as Le Carre and Fleming, they follow on in a similar vein, whilst also bringing something new to the genre. Charting the case-files of one Cal Claxton, a from prosecutor from Los Angeles, they look at a new mystery with each different novel. Set in Oregon, they follow their eponymous lead, as he heads back their after his wife commits suicide, something which he must come to terms with over the course of the books. With these books, Easley knows exactly what it is that his audience are looking for, as he writes mystery novels for a primarily adult market.
