The Reeder and Rogers series by Max Allan Collins is a three-book political thriller line published between 2014 and 2017. The books follow Joe Reeder, a former Secret Service agent with a talent for reading people, and Patti Rogers, an FBI agent. Together they investigate crimes connected to the American political system.
Each book takes on a different branch of government. Supreme Justice deals with the Supreme Court, Fate of the Union involves the State of the Union address, and Executive Order centers on the presidency. Collins brings his crime fiction experience to the political thriller format, creating fast-paced stories grounded in procedure and investigation.
The series shows Collins working outside his usual historical and noir settings. The contemporary political backdrop gives the books a different feel from his Quarry or Nathan Heller series, while the investigative partnership provides a classic odd-couple dynamic.
