Frances Fletcher

Authentic New York counter-terrorism thrillers from a former NYPD intelligence officer.

Frances Fletcher grew up in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, and spent her career protecting New York City from the street level to the intelligence arena.

She began as a foot post in Bedford-Stuyvesant and later rode a steady sector in Sheepshead Bay before joining the NYPD Intelligence Division’s Regional Intelligence Center. Following the attacks of September 11, she served in the Counterterrorism Division, working on threats facing the city she had sworn to protect.

Drawing on firsthand experience in policing, intelligence gathering, and counter-terrorism investigations, Fletcher writes gripping thrillers set in New York City—stories where the difference between conspiracy and reality is dangerously thin.

Her novels explore the hidden world behind terrorism investigations and the people tasked with stopping attacks before they happen.

Books by Frances Fletcher include:

The Day of Terror

The Subway Plot

The Twin Towers

Frances now enjoys retirement with her family while continuing to write stories inspired by the city she served and the secrets that lie beneath its surface.

"The trees only become visible after you leave the forest. Once seen, they can never be unseen."
