Brian Freeman is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of more than two dozen psychological thrillers, including the Jonathan Stride series and multiple popular stand-alone novels. He was also selected by the Robert Ludlum estate to take over Ludlum’s iconic Jason Bourne series. He has since published five Bourne novels and brought the series back to the New York Times bestseller list for the first time in many years.
Since 2005, Freeman has sold books in 46 countries and 24 languages. He was an Edgar Award finalist for his novel THE DEEP, DEEP SNOW, and his novel SPILLED BLOOD won the award for Best Hardcover Novel in the ITW Thriller Awards. Kirkus Reviews named his novels among their Best Mysteries and Thrillers of the year in both 2020 and 2021 (for THE BOURNE EVOLUTION and INFINITE). He is a two-time winner of the Minnesota Book Award.
All of his books are available in audio editions. His novels THE BONE HOUSE and SEASON OF FEAR were both named finalists for the Audie Award for Best Audiobook in Thriller/Suspense.
Freeman’s writing has been praised by critics and bestselling authors alike, including Michael Connelly, Nelson DeMille, Jeffery Deaver, and Lisa Gardner. “A master of psychological suspense,” Gardner said of Freeman. London’s Daily Mail called Freeman “up there with Harlan Coben in the psychological crime stratosphere.”
Freeman lives in Florida with his wife, Marcia. They have been married for 40 years.
