Gideon Crew
Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child · 5 novels · 2011–2018
Gideon Crew debuts in Gideon's Sword, a 2011 thriller by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child that introduces the character and launches a series built around him. Four further novels carried Crew's adventures from 2011 through 2018, running alongside the same authors' longer Pendergast series but following a separate cast. It's a globe-trotting thriller line rather than a fantasy series.
