Ellie O’Conner is the protagonist of Jack Hardin’s Pine Island Coast Florida Suspense series. A former CIA operative, Ellie has left the agency behind and returned to the small Florida fishing community where she grew up. She wants a quiet life on Pine Island, but old enemies and local criminal activity keep pulling her back into danger.
Ellie’s CIA training makes her far more capable than the average small-town resident, and she uses those skills to investigate murders and confront threats that the local authorities can’t handle. She also appears in Hardin’s Team 99 Ops Thriller novellas, which follow her covert CIA team on international missions and provide backstory for her career before Pine Island.
