Jason Wade operates where journalism and crime intersect most uncomfortably: the police beat, where a reporter becomes a witness, a participant, or occasionally a target. Rick Mofina drew explicitly on his own experience as a young reporter at The Toronto Star when developing Wade’s character, and the authenticity shows in the detail of newsroom life alongside the thriller plotting.
Three books — The Dying Hour (2005), Every Fear (2006), and A Perfect Grave (2007) — complete the series. Mofina moved to other character-led series after the trilogy, but the Jason Wade books remain among his most personal and consistently praised work.
