Stop at Nothing
Stinger follows a former DEA informant thrust into a deadly CIA mission to secure a Stinger missile, risking everything to save his kidnapped family in a world of espionage, betrayal, and impossible choices. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
I was thinking, what if I was a CIA officer tasked with developing a plan to prevent the US from having to invade Iraq to search for weapons of mass destruction. This would be my plan.
How much of the detail in Stinger comes from your own law enforcement background?
The investigative procedures performed by the law enforcement characters are exactly as it would have been done in 2003 if this was a real investigation.
Amir Rahimi is a compelling villain. What was your approach to making him so layered and menacing?
He’s desperate to avenge his son’s death. I wanted him to stop at nothing in getting that revenge.
What is the next book that you are working on, and when will it be available?
I’m contracted with my same publisher, Black Rose Writing, to write a memoir about my four years in Pakistan as a DEA Agent. The working title is: DEA Assignment: Pakistan. It is scheduled to be released April, 2026.
