David McCloskey

David McCloskey is a former CIA analyst who specialized in Syria for six years, from 2008 to 2014.

His experience includes writing weekly memos for the President's Daily Brief, working in CIA field stations across the Middle East, and briefing high-level officials.

This background provides McCloskey with unique insights into Syrian politics and intelligence operations, which he leverages in his debut novel.

He currently resides in Texas and has expanded his writing career, with Damascus Station being his first published work in what has become a series of spy novels.
