NYT Bestselling Author of the Orphan X thrillers. Co-president, International Thriller Writers. I write TV, screenplays, and comics too. It beats working.
Leave it to Scott Brick to add this master flourish to his audiobook reading of The Delivery. When he called to tell me what he was doing with Mr. Man's dialogue, I couldn’t believe it. Another brilliant stroke — that listeners might only notice subliminally.
Sometimes when the beasts cease to behave, I have to put on hero Rhodesian ridgeback content to soothe their wild souls.
"The absolute greatest villain miniseries DC Comics has ever published, Penguin: Pain and Prejudice is a flawless reading experience perfect for crime thriller fans." What an honor! It was such a delight working with Szymon Kudranski back in 2011 on PAIN AND PREJUDICE. buff.ly/BR4bX6s
Different covers. Different languages. Same Orphan X. Big thanks to all my publishers, translators and readers who’ve carried Evan Smoak all around the world. Which cover is your favorite?
Have you accepted The Delivery? If you're looking for a fast-paced thriller about technology, trust, and the dangers we invite into our homes, it's waiting for you.
And now, a word from Orphan X's new Vice President of Readers... Do you have an Evan Smoak spokesperson in your life? Or is it you? Post your own video about why you think people should read X and tag me here.
Lisa Gardner's first stand alone in a good long while is a great jumping on point. And made for a great #FlatheadLakeRead at Mark Sullivan's novelist cabin. I'll be interviewing Ms. Lisa at the The Poisoned Pen. August 3 at 3 PT. Tune in to hear all about her evil twisted mind.
Very cool and wide-ranging chat about Antihero, narrative, and religion with Jonathan Pageau, brilliant icon carver and symbologist who I dedicated this book to! buff.ly/eRqnRgV
How often do we invite technology into our lives without understanding it? How often to we agree to "terms and conditions" on a new app without reading them? Had a great time talking about all this -- and The Delivery's creepy premise -- with Ayesha Rascoe on NPR's Weekend Edition. buff.ly/FBUInzP
Get ready for Orphan X's most dangerous mission yet. Coming early 2027.
What a great Fourth of July weekend with Mark Sullivan and Connor Sullivan celebrating America's 250th birthday. It's been the ultimate gift for me as a writer to have been born in a country that entrusts its citizens with the freedom to think, speak, disagree, read, argue, negotiate, and create.
Still need a copy of THE DELIVERY? Good news. From now until July 28 2026, we are doing a Goodreads giveaway of 100 (!!) ebooks to US entrants. Enter here: buff.ly/ogl1sA2
Great list from ScreenRant of thrillers that measure up to Reacher. Cool to see Orphan X on the list with some of his favorite partners in crime. buff.ly/BKIXGDz
Thrilled to see that THE DELIVERY is resonating with readers. There’s nothing better! Big thanks to everyone who has taken the time to leave a review and spread the word.
A hardcore Foolkiller fan got tatts from my Marvel run on both arms. Writing for Marvel MAX years ago was an absolute dream. Huge highlight was taking over Punisher for the next run after the great Garth Ennis.
The Delivery has arrived. It promises to solve so many of your problems. It will know you so, so well. Just one catch. You have to invite it in. Take a peek behind the novella.
Hard to express how much I'm looking forward to Bloody Scotland! I've heard it's one of the most beautiful crime festivals in the world. And check out the lineup -- Denise Mina, Charles Cumming, Tana French, Lee Child, Lucy Foley, Scott Frank, Mark Billingham, S.A. Cosby, Richard Osman and more!
THE DELIVERY is here at last. But you have to open the door to it. You have to invite it in. I promise, it'll be the scariest delivery you've ever received
I broke down the No Lives Matter "Horseshoe of Nihilism" with The Atlas Society CEO, Jennifer Grossman on the Objectively Speaking podcast this month. Catch it here: buff.ly/VaFFnmx
After the World Cup opener in Doha four years ago, I was thrilled to be in Los Angeles for the first American kickoff. Our team was crisp and dominant. What a great game it was.
My newsletter subscribers are the first to know about upcoming missions. And things are about to get spicy with updates. Are you in the loop? buff.ly/cFSOWEq
Some photos from Galt’s Gulch earlier this month. Had a great time during my keynote discussion with Atlas Society CEO, Jennifer Grossman.

"...don’t let the sci-fi label scare you, because this departure is just as accessible as Hurwitz’s Orphan X series. It’s also just as good, in its own cutting-edge way, illustrating that sometimes great things really do come in small packages." Thank you for the kind words, BookTrib!
Very cool email from reader (another Lisa!), who read The Code while hiking up Mount Teide on Tenerife. Not a bad reading spot. I love seeing Evan connect with folks all over the world.
For years, Orphan X readers have followed Evan Smoak as he picks up the phone and asks a simple question: "Do you need my help?" The X Fund is my way of bringing that spirit into the real world. If you'd like to be part of that mission, I'd be honored to have you join us. buff.ly/cUNzdiW
The New York Times reports that a book about truth in the age of artificial intelligence included quotes generated by AI. We have officially entered the simulation.
