The James Flynn series started in 2013 with The Warren Omissions and initially ran through four books by 2016. Flynn is caught up in political conspiracies and covert operations that blur the line between government service and personal survival. The early books were published under the Jack Patterson name alongside the Cal Murphy mysteries.
After an eight-year hiatus while Patterson focused on other series, James Flynn returned in 2024 with Polar Vortex, followed by Lunar Deception in 2025. The revival suggests Patterson had unfinished business with the character. Long-time fans of the series now have new installments to look forward to, while the break also makes this a natural point for new readers to pick up the series.
