John Pearce lives in Paris part of each year, gathering information for the novels in his Eddie Grant and Sandi Brennan novels. His first, Treasure of Saint-Lazare, was the top historical mystery in the Readers' Favorite writing contest in the year it was published.

He is a former journalist whose reporting in Europe sparked a lifelong fascination with Cold War espionage and the hidden power struggles that survived the fall of the Soviet Union. A former contributor to the International Herald Tribune, he writes thrillers that blend intelligence tradecraft, history, and modern geopolitics.

His Eddie Grant series is set in contemporary Paris and follows an American expatriate drawn back into the shadow world of covert operations, where past wars refuse to stay buried and personal loyalties are constantly tested. Pearce’s fiction combines a journalist’s eye for detail with a deep love of Paris and its layered history.

In 2026 he began a new series featuring American Army officer Sandi Brennan. who turns down a colonel's eagle to move to Paris and start a new job working with the brass of European armies.

He divides his time between Paris and Washington, D.C.
