During his career, Strange worked for three distinct and distinguished federal government agencies—the FBI, the US Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Department of Justice (DOJ). His service to those agencies brought him into direct conflict with some of the most heinous criminals on the planet--Jihadists, the Cartels and international fraudsters. A former private investigator, Strange resides in Los Angeles, California. He is currently working on his third book, Land of Sand, a coming of age love story set in the Middle East.
