Harborlight
When a woman’s body is discovered on a frozen logging road in rural Vermont, FBI Special Agent Sean Burke expects another isolated homicide. But the victim’s precisely inflicted wounds suggest something more complicated and sinister: a killer professionally trained in systematic torture, interrogation, and extracting secrets.
The forensic similarities to recent, unsolved murders in New Hampshire draw Burke into a partnership with Special Agent Erin Callahan, an ambitious, by-the-book rising star in the Bureau. With a small, multistate investigative task force at their disposal, Burke and Callahan uncover a chilling lead: The killer may be a Cold War–era defector with ties to a classified CIA program that operates deeper than anyone could have imagined.
Now, in the darkest corners of New England, Burke and Callahan are on the hunt to find a prolific killer before they strike again―and must risk their lives to expose a far-reaching conspiracy before the truth is buried forever.

Steven Konkoly
Before Steven Konkoly ever crafted his first tightly-wound thriller, he was navigating real-world tension aboard naval ships and behind the scenes of military intelligence. His background as a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and intelligence officer didn’t just inform his fiction—it gave it teeth. The kind that bite with precision, pacing, and a steady pulse of dread that lingers long after the mission ends.
Konkoly’s novels, whether they delve into the shadowy corridors of covert government operations or the chilling realism of societal collapse, are rooted in a rare kind of authenticity. His thrillers don’t just move fast—they move smart. Characters operate in murky moral waters, facing decisions where the right answer isn’t always clear, and trust is as dangerous as any weapon. From The Black Flagged series to The Perseid Collapse, his work examines what happens when systems fail and people are forced to navigate the fallout with little more than instinct and grit.
