Jeffrey S. Stephens writes spy thrillers built around international espionage, CIA operations, and terrorism. He first gained attention with Targets of Deception in 2007, which introduced readers to CIA agent Jordan Sandor. That series ran for four books through 2016 and took Sandor across the globe on missions involving arms dealers, rogue operatives, and terrorist plots.
After a few years away from publishing, Stephens returned in 2022 with a new series featuring Nick Reagan. The Handler and its follow-up Enemies Among Us brought a fresh protagonist but kept the same focus on covert operations and high-stakes tension that fans of his earlier work had come to expect.
Stephens has a knack for fast pacing and detailed tradecraft. His stories draw on real-world geopolitics and tend to move quickly between international locations, keeping the action tightly wound from start to finish.
