As a first novel by Jeffrey Stephens, The Portofino Deception has already received acclamation from New York Times #1 best-selling author, Vince Flynn: “This is a ripping, good yarn of intrigue that will keep you turning the pages all the way to its explosive ending.â€
Houston,TX,March,11,2008 — The story is about Jordan Sandor – an ex-agent with the Central Intelligence Agency – who is drawn back into action when events land him in the middle of an operation to expose and prevent a new al-Qaeda conspiracy intended to launch deadly nerve gas attacks around the world. The tension escalates when Sandor discovers that the rogue agent behind the plot is his former mentor and Jordan realizes he is the only man who can prevent the catastrophe. This journey takes him from Woodstock to New York City to Fort Lauderdale, then to Paris and ultimately to the beautiful Italian Riviera town of Portofino. It is an edge-of-the-seat adventure with an energy that never stops.
Mr. Robert Tanenbaum, best-selling author of Malice, Counterplay and Fury, describes Mr. Stephens’ novel with gusto: “a writer to watch……a very solid, fast-paced thriller that carries the reader on a globetrotting adventure into the world of counter-terrorism.â€
City Magazine’s review passionately sums it up: “Move over Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer, and Jack Ryan – a new agent is locked, loaded, and ready to save the world from terrorism …..Deception will only leave you hoping for the inevitable sequels.â€
Jeffrey Stephens was born and raised in New York City, and currently resides in Connecticut with his wife, Nancy. After a successful career in law, Mr. Stephens has now decided to pursue his work as a novelist in earnest. Through his extensive travel experiences, he found Portofino, Italy – the setting for the climax of The Portofino Deception. For additional information visit www.jeffreysstephens.com
