Philip Clement

P. T. Clement writes political suspense fiction shaped by real-world experience, consequence, and an enduring fascination with power—how it is gained, wielded, and ultimately exposed.

A former Special Agent with the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, Philip was named Soldier of the Year in 1992 and later served as Personal Security Officer to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Colin L. Powell, during Operation Desert Storm. Those experiences placed him in direct proximity to leadership, decision-making, and pressure at the highest levels—insights that continue to shape the realism, tension, and moral complexity of his writing.

Beyond military service, Philip built a successful career as a global technology executive while also pursuing creative work as a film producer and recording artist—bringing a unique blend of discipline, storytelling, and strategic perspective to his fiction.

His novels explore the thin line between loyalty and betrayal, duty and ambition, and the unseen forces that shape outcomes long before they are understood. Grounded in realism and driven by character, his stories take readers into worlds where truth is costly, power is rarely what it seems, and every choice carries consequence.

The Chairman’s Circle is the first book in a suspense trilogy born from years of research, reflection, and disciplined writing—crafted to challenge readers long after the final page.

Philip lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he continues writing stories built to provoke thought, stir emotion, and leave readers wanting more.
