Press Release Body:
Houston,TX,March,11,2008 -- The story is about Jordan Sandor - an ex-agent with the
Central Intelligence Agency - who is drawn back into action when events land him in
the middle of an operation to expose and prevent a new al-Qaeda conspiracy intended
to launch deadly nerve gas attacks around the world. The tension escalates when
Sandor discovers that the rogue agent behind the plot is his former mentor and
Jordan realizes he is the only man who can prevent the catastrophe. This journey
takes him from Woodstock to New York City to Fort Lauderdale, then to Paris and
ultimately to the beautiful Italian Riviera town of Portofino. It is an
edge-of-the-seat adventure with an energy that never stops.

Mr. Robert Tanenbaum, best-selling author of Malice, Counterplay and Fury, describes
Mr. Stephens' novel with gusto: "a writer to watch..a very solid, fast-paced
thriller that carries the reader on a globetrotting adventure into the world of
counter-terrorism."

City Magazine's review passionately sums it up: "Move over Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer,
and Jack Ryan - a new agent is locked, loaded, and ready to save the world from
terrorism ...Deception will only leave you hoping for the inevitable sequels."

Jeffrey Stephens was born and raised in New York City, and currently resides in
Connecticut with his wife, Nancy. After a successful career in law, Mr. Stephens
has now decided to pursue his work as a novelist in earnest. Through his extensive
travel experiences, he found Portofino, Italy - the setting for the climax of The
Portofino Deception. For additional information visit www.jeffreysstephens.com
