F.X. REGAN
F.X. Regan was a police officer in a major metropolitan police department, an FBI agent, and a SWAT Team member. He retired with more than 32 years of law enforcement as the special agent in charge of a large FBI field division and he worked on many high-profile investigations during his career. He was a Vice President and COO in charge of security at two major corporations before becoming a full-time writer and licensed private investigator. He has written editorials for The Washington Post, Gannett, and The Hill; and has appeared on America's Most Wanted, NBC's Dateline, and Fox News.
Regan is currently working in three different series: The first, his flagship group of crime-thrillers, is a three-book series of novels featuring CJ Hawk, a private investigator who was dismissed from the rolls of the FBI after his alleged role in a bad shooting. Hawk is retained to help solve a number of cold case homicides in Washington, D.C., and in each of his investigations, he bumps into rogue government programs that operate off the books and complicate his life. Department Echo is out and available. Zulu Center is in the final edits and should be out in late 2024 or early 2025. The third, tentatively titled Washington Field, is in production. All three were inspired by actual homicides in the D.C. area. Because these books involve the FBI, he is required to submit them to the FBI's pre-publication process which can be time consuming.

Best Thriller Books
"I really liked this five star story that has Washington, D.C. and the Metro system as the backdrop. I have a new favorite detective in Kiki Diaz. The writing is tight, the tension is high and the pace flows like a speeding rail car. You can see and feel what the richly developed characters are experiencing. I am looking forward to seeing more Kiki Diaz."
Steve Stratton, author of the Shadow Tier Series.
