Jason Stafford is the protagonist of Michael Sears’s financial thriller series, a former Wall Street trader who served time in prison and now works as a consultant investigating financial fraud. His deep understanding of how the system works — and how it can be exploited — makes him a uniquely effective investigator, though his criminal past follows him into every case.
Beyond the financial intrigue, Stafford is defined by his relationship with his young autistic son, whose care and well-being drive many of his decisions. The tension between his dangerous investigations and his responsibilities as a father gives the series its emotional core across four novels.
