Michael Duffy is an Australian author and former journalist and broadcaster. He and his wife the artist Alex Snellgrove own the publishing company Duffy & Snellgrove, which published the first books by Peter Robb (Midnight in Sicily), Ashley Hay (The Secret), John Birmingham (He Died with a Felafel in His Hand) and Rosalie Ham (The Dressmaker). Other authors included Les Murray, Mungo MacCallum and John Olsen.[1] The company stopped publishing new titles in 2005.
Duffy presented ABC Radio National's Counterpoint with Paul Comrie-Thomson[when?]. Set up to provide some balance to the station's left-wing Late Night Live, Counterpoint went on to rate better than its source of inspiration. [citation needed]
Duffy has written four true crime books and the Sydney crime novels The Tower, The Simple Death and Drive By.[2] He is now writing the Bella Greaves series of crime novels set in the Blue Mountains.[3] The first is The Problem with Murder.[citation needed]
