R.H. Johnson books available from Hampton, Westbrook Publishing
Author Russ Johnson has written twelve novels, including eight in the NYPD Detective Pete Nazareth crime series. The books are works of fiction, but they have a ring of authenticity derived in part from his military, private-sector, and consulting experiences.
In early 2019 he introduced a new character, Travis Delta, in the geopolitical thrillers Hollow-Point Diplomacy and The Jericho Option.
When not writing crime fiction, he writes humorous satire under the pen name Alastair Flythe.
Russ lives in Kennebunk, Maine, and Princeton Junction, NJ.
