Jeffrey S. Stephens

Jeffrey S. Stephens is the Amazon bestselling and PenCraft Award-winning author of nine novels, including two espionage series and his latest, the first in a line of legal thrillers.

The Jordan Sandor series— TARGETS OF DECEPTION, TARGETS OF OPPORTUNITY, TARGETS OF REVENGE and ROGUE MISSION — follows a CIA operative drawn back into a world he thought he had left.

The Nick Reagan thrillers, THE HANDLER and ENEMIES AMONG US, take a different agent into the machinery of Washington itself.

His newest novel introduces attorney Russell Palmer in ILLUSIONS OF TRUST, the first in a line of upcoming legal thrillers closest to his own life.

He is also the author of two standalones: the Anthony Walker murder mystery CRIMES AND PASSION, and FOOL'S ERRAND, winner of a PenCraft First Place Award.

A native New Yorker, he has practiced law for more than four decades, admitted in both New York and Connecticut, and has represented clients whose lives would not be out of place in his novels. He writes about institutions under pressure and the people inside them who have to decide what they are worth — and he writes them from experience rather than from research.

He and his wife Nancy have lived in Greenwich, Connecticut for over forty years, where they raised their two sons, Graham and Trevor.
