MICHAEL RIGG
Michael Rigg, an attorney for more than four decades, writes mysteries and thrillers set in two very different locations: Virginia Beach (where he lives) and New Orleans (which he visits as often as possible “for research,” including participation in three Mardi Gras Krewes).
Mike is a retired Navy Judge Advocate and a retired civilian government attorney, formerly working for the Department of the Navy Office of the General Counsel. He is a member of International Thriller Writers, Mystery Writers of America, and both the Sisters in Crime national organization and its Southeastern Virginia Chapter—Mystery by the Sea.
He is a Contributing Author to the MBTS blog Sand in Our Shorts, the author of a novelette, Ghosts of the French Market, and has short stories in several anthologies, including Mardi Gra Mysteries ("In a Faubourg Far, Far Away"), Coastal Crimes: Mysteries by the Sea ("The Courier"). Virginia is for Mysteries ("Ghosts of Sandbridge"), and Coastal Crimes 2 ("Grandma Connie's Strawberry Pie").
His debut novel, Voices of the Elysian Fields, was released by Level Best Books in April of 2025.
