Book Announcement
Randall Stephens' The Fat Man's Watch - Espionage Fiction at Its Finest
A coded transmission crosses three continents — Northern Ireland, Spain, Morocco. At first, it looks like routine chatter. Then someone mentions Oujda.
That's when everything changes.
The CIA's Most Seasoned Operative — Tested Like Never Before
Fred "Fat Freddie" Ward has spent twenty-nine years as the CIA's Chief of Station in Morocco. He's seen everything the shadow world has to offer. But the signals in The Fat Man's Watch don't add up — and in his line of work, things that don't add up tend to get people killed.
What begins as fragmented intelligence — assassins for hire, encrypted calls, whispers of a plot reaching into royal circles — becomes a race across continents to stop a conspiracy before it detonates into global chaos.
From Langley to London. Rabat to Madrid. Every message hides a secret. Every operative knows too much.
Authentic, Relentless, and Impossible to Put Down
Randall Stephens writes espionage fiction the way it should be written — grounded in the operational reality of intelligence work, without sacrificing an ounce of pace or tension. The Fat Man's Watch feels authentic in a way that only comes from someone who understands how this world actually operates.
The question at the heart of the book isn't just who fired the shot. It's who paid for the bullet — and why.
Readers who love Daniel Silva, Vince Flynn, and Brad Thor will feel right at home here.
