Victor Methos is a high-output thriller and crime fiction writer with 65 books published since 2011. His longest series is the Jon Stanton Thrillers, which runs to thirteen books starting with Chains of Darkness and covering everything from serial killers to organized crime in settings like Las Vegas. The series has a gritty, street-level feel, with titles like Sin City Homicide, Sociopath, and Black Widow giving a clear sense of what readers can expect.
Methos also writes legal thrillers through the Brigham Theodore and Shepard & Gray series, courtroom-centered stories like The Neon Lawyer, A Gambler’s Jury, and The Secret Witness. His Desert Plains series, starting with A Killer’s Wife (2020), is a more recent entry that has picked up attention. Beyond the crime and legal fiction, Methos has ventured into horror and sci-fi with standalones like Plague (which spawned its own trilogy), Clone Hunter, and Titanoboa.
His standalone novels alone number nearly twenty titles, ranging from the darkly humorous Earl Lindquist: Accountant and Zombie Killer to the more straightforward thriller The Hallows. The newer Vegas Shadows and We Could Be Heroes series show he is still adding to his catalog, with books scheduled into 2026. Readers looking for a starting point in his crime fiction should try A Killer’s Wife or the first Jon Stanton book, while those who want legal drama can begin with The Neon Lawyer.
