The First David Stilley Series Has Been Written!

My Most Popular Protagonist - Star of the Special Agent In Charge David Stilley Adventure Series - And A Great Friend of the Author. NOW - All THREE Stilley Books Have Been Combined Into The David Stilley's FBI Adventures: Three-Book Collection - Available Now on Amazon

About Book One The Beast Within Us 

Days after Stilley attends his first execution of a serial killer brought to justice by him and his team at the BAU, evidence that the killer had an invisible partner not only comes to light but the latest killings ignite a firestorm of fear, shock, and confusion! The killer is hiding in plain sight, living and working in a position of the utmost trust, someone unfathomable to everyone until his involvement can no longer be denied. The first edition already received a 4.5 star reception - this latest edition exceeds 4.7 stars and counting.

About Book Two The Sleeper Among Us

Special Agent in Charge David Stilley should've been enjoying a Hall of Fame induction. Instead, an old teammate's plea unravels into an international manhunt: a junior associate's phantom past, Interpol's seized bills of lading, and a British logistics front traceable to terrorist arsenals.

Stilley drags his Behavioral Analysis Unit into unfamiliar territory: sleeper agents, cartel connections, and a private security firm with too many secrets. Not to mention - Stilley's conflicted motivations, an old friend's betrayal, and trouble brewing at home.

The story has already earned a 4.7 rating average on Amazon and Goodreads. Anthony Eddolls is becoming recognized as an exciting crime fiction author, as well as psychological thrillers, FBI procedurals, and an audience favorite in those niches.

About Book Three Call Out The Dogs

When a string of identical assassinations hits Americans across Europe, a seasoned FBI SAC—torn between family and duty—must stop a professional killer and unmask the clients backing him before the conspiracy topples governments and silences every witness.

Stilley finds himself embroiled in a 'truth is stranger than fiction' conspiracy that could topple the U.S. Administration at the least, trigger global chaos at worst!

But will he pull the pin - or conceal a career ending debacle?

As For Reviews of The Beast Within Us?

Reviewed in the United States on 

Okay, so I just finished "The Beast Within Us." If you're into those edge-of-your-seat thrillers, you must check this out. It throws you right into the thick of it with Agent Stilley, and man, the tension just never lets up. What's cool is how tangled the story gets, but it never feels confusing, and Stilley himself? Like many of us, he has his baggage, making him relatable, even when things get wild. The book moves so fast, and there are these twists you don't see coming. You will tear through this one if you're a fan of a good mystery that digs deep into its characters.

About On Opposite Sides Available on Books.by

When an old teammate confesses his firm may have shipped weapons to terrorists, BAU SAC David Stilley must extract the truth from a vanished rookie, a captured Russian sleeper, and a panicked executive—before the sleeper network, a merciless cartel, or politics silence the witnesses for good.

This publication was BANNED on Amazon...apparently it was too controversial. However, while it was up on the retail platform, it received 60 4.8 Star Ratings and dozens of glowing reader reviews. We've made this great story available on Books.by/anthony-eddolls in both eBook and Paperback format. Check it out below, and let me know if you think it should have been banned!

I just finished the book. Crossing Over by Anthony Eddolls and I loved every minute of it. It’s a great crime novel and the characters were so believable and perfectly written. There were several twists that I honestly did not see coming and a few laugh out loud moments that made it so entertaining. I am looking forward to reading the next novel, The Lines We Cross, to see how Elliot Murphy continues in his career and wrestles with his demons. Great summer reading for sure!
