The Jason Stafford series by Michael Sears follows a former Wall Street trader navigating life after prison. Jason Stafford served two years for financial crimes and now works as a consultant, using his deep knowledge of how the financial system can be exploited to investigate fraud for clients who need someone who understands both sides of the law.
Beginning with the Shamus Award-winning Black Fridays (2012), the four-book series raises the stakes with each installment as Stafford takes on increasingly dangerous cases. His personal life — particularly his relationship with his young autistic son — adds emotional weight to the financial thriller plots. The series wraps up with Saving Jason (2016), bringing Stafford’s story to a close.
