Jack Rogan is an investigative journalist with a talent for getting pulled into mysteries that blend art, history, and danger. Gabriel Farago introduced him in The Empress Holds the Key in 2013, and the character has appeared in over a dozen books since then.
Rogan’s investigations tend to start with a single clue or artifact and spiral outward into larger conspiracies. He travels widely, and Farago uses real historical events and locations to ground the stories. Whether he is tracking down a forgotten painting or untangling a genetic secret, Rogan relies on his journalist instincts and a network of contacts to get to the truth.
The series keeps Rogan busy with new cases while building on his personal life and past. Readers who enjoy a protagonist who is more reporter than action hero will appreciate Rogan’s approach to problem-solving.
