Morley Swingle is a retired prosecutor now writing mystery/thrillers and law books. As both a state and federal prosecutor, he personally prosecuted 111 homicide cases and tried 178 jury trials. His cases have been featured on Dateline, Forensic Files and Oprah. His historical mystery thrillers include The Gold of Cape Girardeau (praised as "absorbing courtroom drama" by Elmore Leonard) and Bootheel Man (finalist for the 2008 William Rockhill Nelson Award for fiction). His true crime memoir Scoundrels to the Hoosegow was called "engrossing" and "highly recommended" by Vincent Bugliosi. His short story "Hard Blows" in the Mystery Writers of America anthology The Prosecution Rests was singled out for praise by Publisher's Weekly as "dramatizing the challenges prosecutors encounter." His collection of sixteen short stories, also titled Hard Blows won the 2024 Firebird Book Award for Crime Fiction. His Young Adult historical mystery What Hump? brings the U.S. Army's 1856 camel experiment to life. Three of his law books teach search and seizure law in an entertaining format, while the fourth explains the law of evidence using unforgettable examples. Although relatively well-liked for a prosecutor, his occasionally found it necessary to wear a bullet-proof vest.
