Jay Stringer píše drsné detektivky, temné komedie a sociální fikci. K psanému slovu se dostal jako k druhému jazyku, skrze komiksy, hudbu a humor, přičemž jeho styl je ovlivněn dyslexií. Jeho díla se často zabývají politickou a kriminální tematikou a prozkoumávají jak temné stránky lidské povahy, tak společenské problémy. Jeho jedinečný přístup k psaní přináší čtenářům svěží a neotřelý pohled na žánr.

Outreach magazine 2018 Resource of the Year--Counseling & Relationships Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing is a ground-breaking resource that explores the "why" behind self-destructive sexual choices. The book is based on research from over 3,800 men and women seeking freedom from unwanted sexual behavior, be that the use of pornography, an affair, or buying sex. Jay Stringer's (M.Div, MA, LMHC) original research found that unwanted sexual behavior can be both shaped by and predicted based on the parts of our story--past and present--that remain unaddressed. When we pay attention to our unwanted sexual desires and identify the unique reasons that trigger them, the path of healing is revealed. Although many of us feel ashamed and unwanted after years of sexual brokenness, the book invites the reader to see that behavior as the very location God can most powerfully work in their lives. Counselors, pastors, and accountability partners of those who experience sexual shame will also find in this book the deep spiritual and psychological guidance they need to effectively minister to the sexually broken around them.

Being the resident troubleshooter for a big-time crime family has its perks -- among them a posh flat and sex with the boss's sister. But living the criminal high-life hasn't made Eoin Miller fat and happy.

But now his brilliant career in dirty work has taken a turn for the absolute worst. Covering up the killing of a porn peddler has gone seriously sideways, toppling Eoin into the tightest of spots: between his beloved boss and a conspiracy rife with blackmail, murder, torture, and treachery. Before things get better, more people will get dead, and Eoin must outwit, or outrun, an underworld cartel, his former brothers in blue, and a chilling hit man who never breaks a sweat . . . even when he's breaking bodies.

A rapist is targeting immigrant girls, girls who know all too well just how little help an outsider can expect from the local police. As an ex-cop who was shunned for his half-gypsy blood, Eoin knows it too. There's just one problem: Veronica isn't paying for an arrest. She's paying for a kill.
