Black-ops Turned Author Leo J. Maloney

The Osterville Village Library is pleased to welcome ex-black operative turned author Leo J. Maloney! 

Leo J. Maloney was born in Massachusetts, where he spent his childhood and graduated from Northeastern University. While in the Army, he was recruited to become a deep cover Black Ops contractor for a clandestine government agency, and his life changed forever. He was assigned to highly secretive missions throughout the world. As an independent contractor, he was never required to accept a particular assignment, but rather selected ones that met his criteria- that it was in the best interest of the country.
Although once a mission was underway, there was no turning back.

While working in the secretive world of black ops, he operated several "cover" businesses, primarily working as a classic car broker, as well as owning a promotions company, and a detective agency. In the 1970's he served as a municipal police officer (patrol, motorcycle, and detective) and was also assigned to the New England Organized Crime Intelligence Bureau - Narcotics Division.

Leo discussed some of the details of his secret life as a black ops contractor, with his confidants and family; they were fascinated by his stories and encouraged him to write a book. Leo incorporated many of his experiences into his first novel, Termination Orders, released by Kensington Publishing Corp. in September 2012. The 2nd book in the Dan Morgan thriller series, Silent Assassin, was released in August 2013.

Join us Saturday, June 21 at 10 AM to hear stories of Leo’s life, work and about his upcoming new release in his Dan Morgan series “Black Skies” due out in late August 2014.

"Black Skies is rough, tough and entertaining. Leo J. Maloney has written a ripping story."
- Meg Gardiner, Edgar Award winning author

"Smart, savvy, and told with the pace and nuance that only a former spook could bring to the page. Black Skies is a tour-de-force novel of 21st century espionage and a great geo-political thriller. Maloney is the new master of the modern spy game and this is a first rate story."
