Oath of Loyalty has been on shelves for more than two months now, and I just recently finished up the last of the tour appearances and the podcast interviews. Next month I’ll share links for all the interviews in case you missed a few segments. While I was on the road promoting the book in … more
Despite being a writer for more than two decades now, it’s hard to articulate the thrill of seeing my name on the New York Times bestseller list. When you consider how many books are published in the country every year, the odds against securing a spot are enormous. The continued enthusiasm of fans of … more
A Thank You To Fans I’m so excited for readers to finally be able to finish the saga I unveiled in Enemy at the Gates. Mitch’s latest mission in Oath of Loyalty is, for him, the most important of his career. I’m curious to hear what you think. I can’t believe that today I’m celebrating … more
Oath of Loyalty is on sale September 13, 2022! This year, I’m looking forward to going out on the road again to talk to readers in person. Before the official launch of the book, I’ll be at Bouchercon, the annual convention for mystery and thriller fiction that’s being held in Minneapolis this year. If you’re … more

Readers often ask me if I think there are real Mitch Rapps out there and I recently had the honor of going to a place where many of them fought: Normandy, France. It would actually be hard to write some of these soldiers’ stories because they would seem too far-fetched. People climbing cliffs with ropes … more
It’s been nearly a year now that I’ve been back in Spain and I’ve been using my time here as an opportunity to scout some interesting settings for future books. The past eleven months have been a whirlwind—in between all that travel, I had to write Oath of Loyalty and now I’m working on Mitch’s … more
