Where to Start with Heather Graham

→ New to Graham’s paranormal thrillers? Start with Phantom Evil (Krewe of Hunters #1). It introduces the FBI unit, the core characters Jackson Crow and Angela Hawkins, and sets the tone for the whole series.
→ Want something shorter before committing to a long series? The Bone Island Trilogy (Ghost Shadow, #1) is self-contained at three books and works without any knowledge of the Krewe team.
→ Prefer a tighter, two-person dynamic over a team? Try Deadly Gift (Flynn Brothers #3) or start the Cafferty & Quinn series with The Café on the Nile. Both are more intimate than the Krewe setup.
→ If you want more historical romance than paranormal thriller? Skip to the Shannon Drake books. The Graham Clan and MacAuliffe Vikings series are in a completely different setting and have no connection to her thrillers.

How the Series Connect

Most of Heather Graham’s paranormal thriller series share the same universe. The Harrison Investigation series is set before the Krewe of Hunters and follows Adam Harrison, the ex-investigator who eventually founds the FBI unit at the heart of the Krewe books. The two series can be read separately, the Krewe novels summaries the relevant backstory, but together they form one continuous world. The Blackbird Trilogy is a direct Krewe spin-off, following agents Luke Kendrick and Carly MacDonald, and is best read after getting familiar with the Krewe stories.

The Cafferty & Quinn series, the Bone Island Trilogy, the Flynn Brothers series, and the Four Horsemen series are all independent of the Krewe world.

Her historical romance series under the Shannon Drake name are different both in tone, time period, and characters.

Krewe of Hunters Series (Books in Order)

The Krewe of Hunters series follows an elite FBI unit of paranormal investigators, agents who can communicate with the dead, who work cases that regular law enforcement can’t explain. Founded in New Orleans by agents Jackson Crow and Angela Hawkins under the oversight of ex-paranormal investigator Adam Harrison, the Krewe crew grows over time as new members join and are sent to haunted locations across the United States. Each book centers on a different couple within the unit. Each book is focused on a different couple within the unit, with settings ranging from New Orleans plantations to New England battlefields to Las Vegas stages, all chosen for their historical ghost stories and their real-world potential for crime. The FBI procedural series incorporates in its structure very light supernatural elements, such as the “talking to ghosts,” making it accessible to readers who aren’t typically drawn to paranormal fiction.

The series is best read from book 1, as it starts with the unit’s formation and shows the beginning of the Jackson/Angela relationship, both which are a main part of the ongoing arc. The individual mysteries are self-contained, but the team dynamics and recurring characters’ roles grow as the series grows as well.

Krewe of Hunters Novellas and Short Stories

Blackbird Trilogy (Books in Order)

The Blackbird Trilogy is a Krewe of Hunters spin-off series, which follows special agents Luke Kendrick and Carly MacDonald, members of the Krewe of Hunters’ international operations unit, codenamed Blackbird, who track serial killers across Europe. Each book is set in a different country with the paranormal element carried over from the Krewe world. The trilogy can be read as a standalone introduction to the Blackbird unit, although it is best read after reading some books in the Krewe universe to get familiar with the world.

  1. Whispers at Dusk, 2023
  2. Secrets in the Dark, 2023
  3. Cursed at Dawn, 2023

Blackbird Files Series (Books in Order)

The Blackbird Files continues the international Krewe spin-off series, following the Blackbird team as they pursue new cases across European cities. The series picks up directly from the Blackbird Trilogy, so reading that trilogy first is recommended for context on the characters.

  1. Death Behind Every Door, 2024
  2. Market for Murder, 2024
  3. Legacy of Blood, 2024

The Crows Series (Books in Order)

The Crows series is a newer Krewe of Hunters spin-off, which follows agents with paranormal abilities who are sent by the Krewe of Hunters leaders to solve crimes in various parts of the country. In the usual Krewe of Hunters format, each book features a romantic couple teaming up.

  1. The Witching Hours, 2026
  2. These Ancient Bones, 2026

Apocalypse Cult Series (Books in Order)

The Amy Larson and Hunter Forrest series, also called the Apocalypse Cult series, follows Florida Department of Law Enforcement special agent Amy Larson and FBI special agent Hunter Forrest as they investigate crimes that are tied to extremist groups and apocalyptic cults across the American South. The series is closer to straight crime thriller than the paranormal-heavy Krewe books. While the supernatural elements are present, the focus is much more on the human threat. Fans of the Krewe series who want something with more procedural elements often mention this series as a good complement.

  1. Danger in Numbers, 2021
  2. Crimson Summer, 2022
  3. Shadow of Death, 2023
  4. The Reaper Follows, 2024

New York Confidential Series (Books in Order)

The New York Confidential series follows criminal psychologist Kieran Finnegan and FBI agent Craig Frasier, who meet in the middle of a diamond heist in Manhattan and keep finding themselves thrown together by crime. Kieran co-owns Finnegan’s, her family’s Irish pub on Broadway, which keeps turning up in the middle of the various investigations. This is a pure romantic suspense series with no paranormal elements.

  1. Flawless, 2016
  2. A Perfect Obsession, 2017
  3. A Dangerous Game, 2018
  4. A Lethal Legacy, 2019
  5. The Final Deception, 2020

Finnegan Connection Series (Books in Order)

The Finnegan Connection follows the same couple as New York Confidential, FBI agent Craig Frasier and criminal psychologist Kieran Finnegan, in four shorter companion novels published under Harlequin Intrigue in 2017–2018. These run parallel to the main hardcover series and can be read independently, although it is best starting with Flawless, Book 1 of New York Confidential, for full context about the main protagonists.

  1. Law and Disorder, 2017 (also titled Hostage At Crystal Manor)
  2. Shadows in the Night, 2017
  3. Out of the Darkness, 2018 (also titled Conspiracy to Murder)
  4. Undercover Connection, 2018

Cafferty and Quinn Series (Books in Order)

The Cafferty and Quinn series follows Danni Cafferty, who inherits her father’s antiques shop on Royal Street in New Orleans, and Michael Quinn, a former cop turned private investigator. Danni’s father also left her a book of secret instructions for defeating evil entities and dealing with cursed objects and supernatural threats, which turns out to be more useful than she expected, because her shop soon gets invaded by cursed objects, haunted paintings, and dark supernatural forces. Each book works well as a standalone, though reading in order gives fuller context for Danni and Quinn’s growing and deepening relationship.

Co-authored with F. Paul Wilson for the novella Infernal Night (2014).

  1. Let the Dead Sleep, 2013
  2. Waking the Dead, 2014

Harrison Investigation Series (Books in Order)

The Harrison Investigation series is a paranormal romantic suspense series that follows various romantic couples who investigate hauntings and supernatural crimes, all connected to Adam Harrison, the ex-paranormal investigator who later creates the Krewe of Hunters unit. Set before the events of the Krewe books, this series is a prequel and gives some idea of Harrison’s background and his methods. Each book focuses on a different couple and location, so they work as standalone reads. Reading Harrison Investigation before or alongside the early Krewe books adds dimension to Adam Harrison’s role in both series.

  4. Ghost Moon, 2010

Heather Graham Biography

Heather Graham

Heather Graham is a New York Times bestselling author who wrote over 200 contemporary, historical romance and gothic stories, suspense books, and paranormal books.
Official website: theoriginalheathergraham.com

Heather Graham was born on March 15, 1953, in Miami, Florida, and grew up with four other siblings. She grew up in Dade County, Florida. After the high school graduation, she married Dennis Pozzessere, but she continued to study. She attended the University of South Florida at Tampa, where she graduated with a degree in theater arts. Next, she had several different jobs, ranging from dinner theater, singing backup vocals, to bar-tending.

Her first novel, When Next We Love, was published in 1982. In the early part of her career she published under both her maiden name (Heather Graham) and her married name (Heather Graham Pozzessere), later adding the pen name Shannon Drake for historical romance. The Shannon Drake name, which launched with Ondine in 1988, became a separate brand aimed at readers of Scottish and medieval historical romance, with series like the Graham Clan, the MacAuliffe Vikings, and the Angel Hawk books.

Her first romantic suspense novel was The Island, published in 1995, which soon became a bestseller. Her supernatural thriller work began with the Harrison Investigation series in the early 2000s and moved on to the Krewe of Hunters in 2011. The Krewe series, which follows an FBI unit of agents who can communicate with the dead, became her longest-running and most-read series, eventually having more than 40 main novels and generating a spin-off trilogy (the Blackbird Trilogy). The series has been consistently praised for its use of real American historical locations.

Over the course of her career, Heather Graham has published well over 200 novels in the romance, paranormal thriller, romantic suspense, and horror genres. Her books have been translated into approximately 25 languages with over 75 million copies in print. She received the Romance Writers of America Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003, the International Thriller Writers ThrillerMaster Award in 2016, and the Anthony Award for Best Anthology/Collection in 2025 for the Bouchercon anthology she edited. She is an active member of both the International Thriller Writers and Mystery Writers of America, and is a certified scuba diver. She and her husband Dennis Pozzessere have five children and are based in Florida.

  1. I throughly enjoy all of Heather’s books. The Krewe of Hunters are my favorite but the others are not far behind. She is definitely one of my favorite authors. I’m a big Stephen King fan also. I couldn’t do without either of these authors.

  2. Will Danger in Numbers have a sequel. It kind of ends with a setup i feel like.

  3. Is Adam Harrison a main character in any of her books? Like, one of the series is named after him but I can’t find a book that deals with his backstory other than brief mentions like in the first Krewe book.

  4. Hello, I am trying to collect all of the Heather Graham written books. I just started two years ago. Any advice on to get copies of her first books? I am addicted to the Krewe of hunters book series, but I read anything of hers I can get.

    She is an amazing writer.

  5. I’m disappointed that the Krewe books do not have more audiobooks.

  6. I love her Krewe series and must admit to reading some of my favorites twice. I was disappointed to see Amazon is not offering paperbacks. I’m not a Kindel person and only have room for paperbacks…sad.

  7. The Trance is added but I have no idea of The Apparition. Did you see that on the site you mentioned?

  8. I try to read books in the order they are written. I look for the new ones as listed in Fantastic Fiction. The Trance 2020 and The Apparition 2020 were listed; then disappeared from the list. Were the names changed?

  9. since I started reading Heather’s books I just love them and I cannot stop reading the Krewe stories. unfortunately we do not get them all over here (Switzerland) as e-books which is most convenient as you dont have to carry so many books with you.I

    I love Heathers’s books.

  10. I started reading Heather ‘s books about 5 years ago.
    I thoroughly enjoy her writing, she knows how to get your attention form the beginning of the story and keep you interested the entire read.
    I have read many of her books and on this website some found some that I would like to read.
    I do also really enjoy all the Krewe stories
