Victor Methos wrote fourteen books in the Jon Stanton Thrillers series between 2011 and 2019. The series starts with Chains of Darkness and moves quickly through three entries in its first year alone, with The White Angel Murder / Chains of Darkness and Walk In Darkness also arriving in 2011. Reading them in publication order is the best approach, since characters and storylines carry forward from book to book.
The middle stretch of the series produced a steady run of titles from 2012 to 2015, including Sin City Homicide, Arsonist, The Porn Star Murders, Sociopath, and Black Widow. After a gap, Purgatory appeared in 2017, and the series wrapped up with Shadows in 2019. Peak Road also has a companion short thriller published the same year.
