Stacy M. Jones is a criminologist turned crime novelist who holds master’s degrees in forensic psychology and journalism. Her years working with law enforcement inform the realistic detail in her thrillers. Based in Little Rock, Arkansas, she draws on both her Southern home and her upstate New York roots for her settings.

Her first and longest series follows PI Riley Sullivan, a former crime reporter turned private investigator who tackles cold cases and serial murders alongside her detective husband and her partner Cooper Deagnan. The series spans thirteen novels beginning with Deadly Sins in 2018, with cases that range from Little Rock to Boston to New York. She also writes the Harper and Hattie Magical Mystery series, which blends cozy mystery with supernatural elements in a New Orleans-inspired setting.

Her newer work includes the FBI Agent Kate Walsh Thriller series, which has grown rapidly since its 2021 debut with The Founders, and the Connor Fitzgerald Thriller series that launched in 2024 with Midnight Judge. Across all four series, Jones writes fast-paced stories grounded in forensic detail and real-world criminal investigation.
