Finn Teller

Created by Twist Phelan

A Milan fashion house. A Greek kidnapping. A Croatian trainwreck. South American revolutionaries. An embezzler hiding out in Eastern Europe. A deadly African pandemic.

It’s all part of the job for gun-toting, globetrotting corporate spy FINN TELLER. She works for the Washington, D.C.-based Strategic Information Associates (SIA), doing the same work for individuals, companies and occasionally governments that the CIA does for the U.S. government, although when she’s working for a government, it’s usually for something rather hush-hush–something that they can’t do themselves for political or legal reasons.

It looks like author Twist Phelan may have pumped out all five of the novels in a short time (they were all published in 2016), but a late short story. “Game,” showed up two years later in EQMM, and was promptly nominated for a Shamus.
