The FBI Thriller series is the longest-running property in Rylie Dark’s catalog, with twenty-seven books published between 1996 and 2024. It started with The Cove and has continued through nearly three decades, adding roughly one book per year. The series follows FBI agents through investigations that range from serial killer hunts to political conspiracies, with recurring characters who develop across the full run.
The earlier entries, from The Cove through Point Blank, established the formula that would carry the series forward: tight plotting, multiple viewpoints, and cases that connect to the agents’ personal lives. The middle run, from Double Take through Deadlock, built on those foundations with increasingly complex storylines. Recent books like Vortex, Reckoning, and Flashpoint have kept the pace up while bringing in new characters alongside established favorites. With twenty-seven books and counting, this is a substantial commitment, but readers who enjoy FBI procedurals will find it rewarding to follow from the start.
